It'd be good to not have it get out of hand, yes. I feel like we haven't really gotten into that territory so far, and the dude-flipping-over-a-table thing is at least a lot less space-filling than the hardcore ZALGO stuff was, but restraint in all things, definitely.

I am sort of in agreement with this (I agree that complicated emoticons probably are a net negative to communication clarity most of the time) but mostly I just think it's interesting how those emoticons are totally readable and clear once you can resolve the intended image in your head, but look exactly like gibberish if you don't know what you're looking at.

The table flip one never gets old though. NEVER. (At least let me keep it until election season is over at least. That way I don't have to work up the energy to be outraged by the latest piece of outrage, I can just flip a damn table and move on with my life.)

Right -- a lot of the stuff in the emoji post shows up for me as Unicode placeholder characters. The Zalgo stuff is the same for me, it never renders right. Current Firefox, default style settings, but I'm on XP so maybe my fonts have more holes than more recent OS versions.
It makes it less cutesey, more annoying. Not annoying enough to grumble about (until this specifically-grumbly thread appeared) or even to flag-and-move-on. But still.

MetaFilter: I laugh aloud in delight!

This is just pro-Doctor revisionist nonsense.
isn't all Time Lord history by definition revisionist, with time travel involved?

Unicode's not a nuanced enough medium for this; I don't believe there's a character to properly depict the hand that has the wedding ring on it. On the other hand, many recreations of goatse neglect the wedding ring, even the Time Magazine cover omitted that detail.

BTW, if you want to see the look of disapproval you need to have a font installed that supports the Kannada language. A lot of people get that through Arial Unicode MS (n.b. not the same as Arial) which gets installed with Office.

Installing that font on a Mac took me through a wonderland of foreign scripts and 404 errors, but I did it.
And Chrome still won't render the eyes for the look of disapproval.

Oh Emoji.
The Japanese do take in everything the world has to offer, and spit it back out in a better form. Or in a more perverted form. Or maybe better and more perverted.
