I love how the title of this submission is changing every time I come back to HN.

At first there was an empty space between the double quotes. This made me click and read the article because it was surprising that the length of a space would be 7.

Then the actual emoji appeared and the title finally made sense.

Now I see escaped \u{…} characters spelled out and it’s just ridiculous.

Can’t wait to come back tomorrow to see what it will be then.

This article could have well have been named "Falsehoods programmers believe about strings"

    Or, to address GP's concerns more directly, "Falsehoods programmers believe about Unicode filtering in Hacker News submission titles and comments".
