Our smileyfaces.io project got a mention on Boing Boing. Our favorite smiley is currently ꋖ, but by the time you read this it might be ꇭ. A Unicode glyph for every occasion. What are you feeling?

The more we work on YayText, the more we start to “see faces” in various text characters and symbols. Some like ツ are pretty common, but others like ᑛ and ꗸ don’t get as much love. We just launched smileyfaces.io so you can give these misfit smiley faces some ♡.

@FakeUnicode Can't wait for ALL SEEING EYE + ZWJ + HAIR COLOR MODIFIER to roll out.

@yaytext We will add 3 eyes to the sides every version until version 21.0, then we will add alternating rows of 8 and 9 eyes vertically for a while.

@solidangles @FakeUnicode @kjoshanssen @jamestanton @MathsImpact @decompwlj Using the characters that way, to denote relationships between types of mathematical objects, makes a lot of sense. Appreciate the reply. Looks like I'll need to update the blog post based on everyone's feedback. Thanks
English
@yaytext @FakeUnicode @kjoshanssen @jamestanton @MathsImpact @decompwlj For example, we usually use lowercase letters (b) for elements of a set denoted with an uppercase letter (B), and then we'll use script or calligraphic uppercase letters (ℬ) to denote collections of those sets.

So... letters like 𝒕𝓱𝐞𝕤𝙚 are only meant to be used in mathematical notation. I did a deep dive on the blog re: how you're “supposed to” use these chars yaytext.com/blog/mathemati…

@MathsImpact @FakeUnicode @solidangles @kjoshanssen @jamestanton @decompwlj @MathsImpact Thank you for the link to Bloch space! And I agree, it is all totally fascinating. It makes sense that having a wide set of symbols to choose from is helpful w/o there being agreed upon usage. Have you ever seen an emojis or really weird chars used in math papers?
English
@yaytext @FakeUnicode @solidangles @kjoshanssen @jamestanton @decompwlj On the whole, unless you're talking about the cursive letters that pre-existed the full cursive alphabet, there is no common usage of them in mathematics.
It's just handy to have more symbols which are distinct when you are labelling things.
English
What exactly is "Bernoulli function" and does anyone use ℬ to represent it? Or is the Unicode spec just weird? @FakeUnicode @solidangles @kjoshanssen @jamestanton @MathsImpact @decompwlj (@'ing some friendly looking mathematicians, but honestly no idea who i should be asking)
