@Mossop @tedmielczarek Heh, and now I'm thinking about ['🪨', '📄', '✂️'].sort()
@tedmielczarek Oh, nice. I hadn't seen that page, nor the page for emoji linked at the top. It would also be interesting to include rejected proposals, ISTR digging through some on https://www.unicode.org/emoji/emoji-proposals-status.html or https://charlottebuff.com/unicode/misc/rejected-emoji-proposals/ and it can be fascinating to watch the unicode sausage being made. (Unfortunately the proposal for a sausage emoji was rejected.)

@tedmielczarek Same. In this case I got lucky and a web search somehow got me to https://www.unicode.org/wg2/docs/n3211.pdf which literally has a note in the margin referring to the proposal. But it has usually meant slogging through their email list archives and document registry, and hoping to find enough public context to track things. It's fun, but YMMV. 😂

@tedmielczarek Oooh, unicode archaeology! Added in Unicode 5.1, and I think this is the original proposal: https://www.unicode.org/L2/L2006/06269-add-roman.pdf

From the doc:

Roman inscriptions and coins from the imperial period make use of a palm branch character [...] Because the palm branch is used to separate words or sections of text, it should be regarded as a punctuation character rather than as a symbol. [...] It would logically be placed in the Supplementary Punctuation range.

OH LAWD HE COMIN'......false alarm.

Hmm, did they fly out a spare B-1? The one visible on ADS-B only circled and then left, no stadium flyby. At least I saw the 6 F-15/F-18/F-35 heading to Moffett!

Slightly disappointed the Superb Owl flyby isn't staging the B-1s out of Moffett, that would have been fun. But maybe I can watch the F-35s / F-18s landing...

(While many locks are poorly-made, that should be more on the order of 0.01mm.)
