I swear, making entire different sets of ASCII/Unicode for text/lettering was a damn mistake.

This shit. Constantly. Gets. Past. Spam. Filters. =_=

#also heard this kinda ascii code shit trips up some tts systems #just use one standard set of codes that you can turn into diff fonts in HTML/CSS dammit all! #because a lot of systems reading the text doesn't RECOGNIZE wtf those codes /mean/ #'a' should be recognized as a damn 'a' across the board - istg #not 'a' but it's a little /spicier/ #(this rant is something i see gymrat!lo getting on abt OFTEN) #(this standard sucks ass - and iirc it's thanks to how people saw 'oh we're expanding the ascii table for emojis now?') #(and went 'we can make character sets... but FANCY') #(nevermind fucking breaking spam filtering systems and accessibility tools!) #(nevermind that you can ALREADY customize font type and size with a little bit of HTML tinkering) #(nevermind the style sheet your web page is going for or people who have their own local themes or font library) #(nevermind people who want to idk slap a dyslexia // vis-impaired friendly add-on to make the font more readable to THEM) #(HHHHHh- i have a lot of feelings about this)
