Alice Averlong🏳️⚧️if ever you don't feel cool enough when you properly unicodify an electrical unit like microamps as µA instead of uA, remember that you can also do ㎂ for even FANCIER unicode.
David@foone omg yes. The fact that there’s “micro” and “Greek letter mu” and they’re separate but the same is 🙃
Bee (a dork)@shieldsy05 @foone I was convinced for years that the micro sign was officially deprecated/intended for lossless character set conversions only, but it turns out it's not and I just made that deprecation up entirely. apparently the Unicode Consortium thinks it's perfectly cromulent to have both
endrift 🏳️⚧️@endrift @shieldsy05 @foone I didn't say anything about removal. there are Unicode characters that are explicitly for compatibility only and should not be used in normal, Unicode-originating, text, and I thought that the micro sign was one of them
