Does this affect the potential for trademarking the logo?
Trademark should be possible, but a copyright will depend if the whole logo surpasses the Threshold of Originality. Ordinary typefaces, plus colors and effects, are below this threshold.

Re: Unicode Character “𝕏” (U+1D54F)
#82Musk can seem to do no right atm, I see a lot of hate out there with this name change and planned product expansion but I can’t quite understand why. He’s taking an underperforming social network and trying to make it work. It might prove fatal, but it would have died a slow boring death in its old form. Perhaps its just that people don’t like his personality, which shouldn’t come into it. Fwiw even prior to his defu…
Twitter was doing fine. By taking it private, he saddled it with massive debt its current revenue couldn’t service. And every decision thereafter has been half baked and poorly executed. So by trying to “save” it, he’s killing it much quicker than if it had just been left alone.

#83Anyone have any knowledge of how the new CEO and Elons relationship is regarding the business? I'd be curious how the conversation goes with her about this kinda stuff.
I'm assuming it's "I own the company, do this."
Not saying I agree with his ownership style (I certainly don't), but if you become a CEO for a company owned by Musk, and are not expecting him to undermine and interfere, than you are fooling only yourself.

#84Earlier quoted context omitted.
It’s already got to search 1000s of Chinese characters, a few more doesn’t make a big difference.
How do you decide which characters to index? The current Unicode release (15.0) includes 149,186 individual characters. I suppose you can probably ignore U+237C (Right Angle with Downwards Zigzag Arrow) seeing as nobody seems to know what it denotes.[0][1] [0] https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=31012865 [1] https://ionathan.ch/2022/04/09/angzarr.html
That is Ellis.

Out of curiosity, why shouldn’t his personality come into it?
There’s no moral or ethical basis to not consider his personality when evaluating Twitter, and even if you have one I’m not obligated to share it.
You don’t have to understand things for them to still be valid! To me, he’s an offputting guy doing a bad job, and those two things are valid to consider when thinking of his company according to my moral values. That’s subjective, but it’s clearly a view that many share with me.

He's taken an okay performing social network, laden it with debt, absolutely obliterated its reputation and value by screwing around with it like a coke-addled toddler (with some kind of fascination for fascist-adjacent politics), and now he's destroying a globally-recognised brand to play out a decades-old fantasy that he should've grown out of the first time it blew up in his face.

I thought it was U+130B8.

#89This is for math. In Latex, you get these symbols with \mathbb{}. They are most commonly used to represent to represent number sets, like the set of all integers Z (from the German), set of all natural numbers N, set of complex numbers C, set of all real numbers R, rationals Q (for “quotient”), set of quaternions H (named after Hamilton), or an unknown set F (for “field”). This explains why many of the letters in thi…

It's the new symbol for and domain name of the social? network formerly known as twitter.

#90I'm responsible for this character being supported in Iosevka, JetBrains Mono, 3270, and Cozette, looks like. For arguments I wanted to stick to mathematical convention like f(x) without looking like a regular variable. While the lowercase 𝕩 (subject role) is more common, uppercase makes it a function and is useful in functional programming. More visibility for the character is helpful if it means wider font support, although the real sticking point has been lousy UTF-16 handling on Windows. Like most emoji, these characters need to be represented as a surrogate pair in UTF-16, and terminals in particular often don't handle it.
