The Unicode thread!
I apologize if this is a dupe of another thread. Anyways, let's talk about some cool Unicode characters here! Here are some ones I really like:
(double apologies if you can't see some characters rendered correctly. I will provide a picture upon request)
I would also like to note that Scratch only supports characters in the Basic Multilingual Plane blocks. You may have heard this a bunch of times, but never really listened.
⛡ - triangle and triangles
⚶ - plant
⛼ - three upside-down T's arranged in a pyramid
⛀⛁⛂⛃ - coins, or poker chips
⛍ - there's no law saying I can't make my car float above a triangle!
⚘ - a flower
☧ - P and X got into a freak accident and they merged into this
❆ - snowflake
✎ - pencil
⍢ - this one is very happy about something
⁂ - asterism, to me it looks like a field of flowers ⁂⁂⁂⁂
⁑ - asterism -1
⊛ - Bubble but asterisk
Oh and what is your favorite Unicode block? Mine are Cuneiform and Bamum Supplement.

my interpretations of unicode characters (1/?)
lock: ꉩ (actual purpose: yi syllable ngo)
cool floating half-pipe: ︘ (actual purpose: presentation form for vertical right white lenticular brakcet[sic])
u with a pointy hat: ⮍ (actual purpose: anticlockwise triangle-headed bottom u-shaped arrow)
a 5-year-old's rendition of a tree: ⯭ (actual purpose: upwards two-headed arrow with triangle arrowheads)
my face when this topic inevitably gets closed for “not being suited for this subforum”, despite the fact that you read unicode:
(this is a joke, this isn't actually a unicode character)
“I point to where the flatworm is going!”: ⭁ (actual purpose: reverse tilde operator above leftwards arrow)

my interpretations of unicode characters (2/?)
my mouth when pizza is prepared: ⬤ (actual purpose: black large circle)
king cobra vertical left: ⟅ (actual purpose: left s-shaped bag delimiter)
king cobra vertical right: ⟆ (actual purpose: right s-shaped bag delimiter)
“MINING AWAY!!!!” who else remembers that parody: ⸕▒ (actual purpose: upwards ancora + medium shade next to each other)

Never mind it wouldn't show up. Maybe Scratch doesn't support Cuneiform to prevent spam
Sorry, you have to wait 60 seconds between posts.

Again, I think it's to prevent spam, because a lot of Cuneiform symbols are quite long in character width.it deleted half of my post after i put cuneform in it Never mind it wouldn't show up. Maybe Scratch doesn't support Cuneiform to prevent spam

But I guess it's allowed because on some devices, it gets compressed into a shorter character. On my home computer it compresses it.
