That Ctrl+Shift+u hint is nice. Now I can type all the time I want without having to browse for the emoji page to copy it.

And it sucks that I have to use so much that I know the code point for it (1F4A9) off the top of my head. :-(

Edit: I'm definitely putting in U+1F4A9 (the PILE OF POO character), but apparently hacker news strips it out. I'm guessing it's filtering everything that has a symbol character class?



Yes! The Ctrl+Shift+u hint is nice. I can't believe I only just learnt it. How many _years_ have I been Googling unicode characters for? I am ashamed to think.

I am glad PILE OF POO does not work for you.

does (U+2603) snowman work?

edit: noooo, no snowman


And still U+5350 works. Better than a thousand words sometimes.
