There's a large population of users who want to use Unicode characters as cheap visual tricks, to make the titles or comments stand out more. That said, it's important to remember why many Unicode characters are blocked: it's because of spam. If you think some characters currently filtered out should be available on HN, you can always ask 'dang to remove them from the filter (via mail, I've done that in the past. You'll have plain text and be happy with it.

> And no, the Unicode ones won't work, the code strips them out. Bad criticism tends to get down-voted and flagged pretty quickly. Good, constructive criticism gives everyone a chance to improve. "Show HN" attracts criticism mostly because the opposite of that would be just patting someone on their back, which is boring and benefits neither the submission author, nor the community. HN has plenty of humor (and lord knows it's the easiest way to rack up karma, if you care about such things) - you just have to put some effort into it. Hacker News considers itself serious business to a fault. > For the same reason telling jokes is frowned upon, and why casual projects posted to Show HN often get criticized for being trivial. Using emoji are, in my opinion, very 'professional'. No matter how well written your prose is the recipients may only have time to skim-read it. If you don't use emoji you will be misunderstood. You should therefore be using them in your workplace.

I am firmly of the opinion that emoji are incredibly useful and that normal speech is full of emotion and playfulness that hastily written text cannot convey. No, he had decided to give up using 'childish' emoji. I assumed he was angry about something so I called him. My 18-year old son, who I mostly communicate through text messages, went cold on me recently. Usually all that needed sorted out was a stupid misunderstanding, and the root cause was usually a misreading of tone followed by an emotional overreaction somewhere in the chain of emails. In-person meetings were hastily convened on a regular basis to sort things out.
Passive-aggressive memos with bosses cc'ed in flew about constantly. In those days all online discussions became a huge argument very quickly. I am old enough to have a working life before they existed. I don't need to experiment with not using emoji.
