big dingbat energy

i’ve got something to write about

https://today.snoot.club and the manager app for it.

it's so cool but i’m so tired, and i’m sick now too

but, anyway, today i wrote a bit of code for emacs so it displays emoji correctly using the Apple Color Emoji.ttf font on linux. it looks great. big dingbat energy.

it falls back to iosevka because that’s the only font i know to have characters for the legacy computing block which has some indispensable symbols like this large hand:

🯁🯂🯃

pointing to the right

this hand is three separate characters,

• LEFT THIRD WHITE RIGHT POINTING INDEX
• MIDDLE THIRD WHITE RIGHT POINTING INDEX
• RIGHT THIRD WHITE RIGHT POINTING INDEX

and also the wonderful LEFT HALF RUNNING MAN:

🮲

cropped off around the sockets

where is he going? why is he so long? the rest of his body is in another codepoint. RIGHT HALF RUNNING MAN 🮲🮳
