   So, the shape, or pattern that gets displayed is called the glyph and it belongs to what normal people would the font family.
   Something unconventional, like copy left, may not appear in some fonts or it may look quite different from one font to another.

     🄯 theres a weird one from that plane[block] that i believe actually means something about author's rights (as might be expected, then realized it seems weird. but maybe true. the "copy left")

     @zombiewarrior I wonder why the presentation is not consistent, when it's within the same block like that:

     @blaise you are a resident unicode guru, if i recall correctly. Is this a result of the font family not completely supporting it (e.g. to avoid the so-called tofu?)

     Seems weird to me that it would drop out of using that black font, for the red font (or vice versa). That seems odd to me. Something i feel has been consistently strange about unicode. i do not profess to have a perception which itself is not strange, however.

     Much like #JohnnyTest i often rather bask in the sheer #wonderment
