I have just learned something very important!!!

Via @tedmielczarek @natevw I have learned that the Apple // character set is preserved in Unicode (Except not the Apple logo, which is trademarked— this is in the PUA as , but that is not Unicode. But everything else).

Which means!!! The cute little running guy in the hidden characters!! Is in!!!

🮲🮳

So, if you are on Windows 10 or a modern Apple product, above you see two boxes

But, fricking inexplicably!!!
On Linux!!!
It actually displays!!!

@mcc i think it comes from Noto Sans so presumably on Google OSes it'd display too

@mcc https://issuetracker.google.com/issues/289759016 apparently the Noto Sans they ship is actually a downstream of the Gentoo package and they ran into an issue with the ebuild????

@leo definitely the most logical way for Google to embed their own font in their own OS

@leo incidentally I see a different runner glyph in Firefox vs gnome terminal so there are at least 2 fonts with this support
