Haha, that badge actually allows you to like some posts, it just has to be rare.
Is there a badge for using likes in reverse? Such as only heart-ing posts you donât like because the poster might be the tin man from Oz and needs a heart? That would really explain why I have the all-time highest number likes! People are just trying to help me out.
I imagine it probably did. It was supposed to be Unicode Codepoint U+FFFC, which is intended to be âused as placeholder in text for an otherwise unspecified objectâ, and which Iâm likely abusing, but itâs what I used earlier in a pinch when I didnât have a fancy hexadecimal pronoun representation in mind, so I figured it was worth repeating.
Yeah that occurred to me after the fact that it may have been intentional. Just so used to seeing it when someone tries to send something to me across platforms or something.
Reminds me of a friend of mine when starting his new job (non-technical) and thought I.T. was some reference to gender neutrality.
I dig. I was thinking that I wanted to intentionally throw in whatever character it is that Iâve seen rendered as a placeholder when an unusual glyph isnât rendered in a particular typeface because it has an incomplete character setâthe thing that reminds me of a miniature representation of generic hexadecimalâbut I wasnât sure what it would be called, and then I saw ďżź and reached for that instead. I figure if itâs supposed to be a âplaceholder in textâ, then thatâs kinda like what a pronoun does.
I am still happy for them however. I like saying âcatcatâ and exactly what their profile pic is intrigues from a distance and makes me smile when zoomed-all-in.
