If you ever find yourself with the incredibly specific problem of trying to find&replace a PUA character in #libreoffice, but it keeps cutting the 2 bytes in half and leaving a question-mark thingy, here is the very stupid #regex solution I found:

X(.)
↓
Y$1

where X is your PUA character and Y is your replacement string

I can't really explain why that works. You'd think maybe it's about matching the two surrogate bytes, but no, I entered those manually and it doesn't work.

A friend wanted to pitch a business idea to me, but forgot to bring an NDA for me to sign. I had my tiny purse notebook open and was jotting something down in #sitelenpona, and he asked if I wanted to just write the NDA myself real quick.

"What, in #tokipona?"

"Yeah sure."

And so behold. I'm sure this isn't the first contract written in toki pona, but I wonder if it's the first in handwritten sitelen pona.
