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 @natevw n.b. this is in Unicode 16 which hasn't actually been finalized yet, which is probably why none of the major platforms support it yet. (Also it's a pretty niche thing and it's not like anybody has 100% Unicode coverage in fonts.)
