#2Perhaps the title should be changed to:
It’s Not Wrong that (for HN) “[facepalm emoji]”.length == 36
Or some alternative if the above is too long, like:
“[facepalm emoji]”.length == 36
Both seem more accurate than the current:
It’s Not Wrong that (for HN) “ ”.length == 36
Re: It’s not wrong that (for HN) “[facepalm emoji]”.length == 36
#3> " ".length == 36
Heh. In my code, I always (idiosyncratically, I admit) spell '\x20' as '\x20' (or even just as 0x20, if it's C), unless it's a part of a multicharacter string e.g. "Hello world!": it just feels wrong to have an empty space inside single quotes. Is it really just U+0020 in there? Is it supposed to be U+0020 there? Silly worries, I know, but I just don't like the way ' ' looks.

Or use "[facepalm emoji]" instead of the emoji itself or something.

Is the article about HN stripping emojis (and some other Unicode code points) from the title of another HN submission?

If you are on Chrome, hover your mouse over the link to the article and look at the URL displayed in the bottom left corner (at least that's where Chrome puts it on my machine).

A good text editor will make all whitespace variants visually distinct.

#9I don’t want emojis in the headlines please. It makes it difficult to read and becomes an arms race for attention.
Also I’m not even sure it was a good idea to put them in text. Emojis are a special case that breaks a lot. Now you have to worry about multiple colors, etc.

That's kind of the whole joke.
