I thought about it for a while, and then it occurred to me, that there are actually many ways one could possibly understand that -- thus replying e.g.:

- cat

- "cat"

- 'cat'

- panther (not exactly a cat, but kinda -- that's why it was in quotes, no?)

- [one could type "cat" in one's terminal]

- "Whiskers", etc. (i.e. name of one's cat)

then, one could make a typo (thus e.g. "ca" or "catt"), or finally something more or less totally random, given that it's an open question (thus e.g. "no", or "How are you?", or whatever).

So, not that stupid a question I thought initially :)

In a bit of "don't tell me what to do" pique, I typed the cat emoji, .

Turns out something in Google Forms uses UCS-2 internally, so it rejected my whole survey.

EDIT: I guess Arc isn't very good at this either.

Google love Java to bits, and it's UCS-2ish.

My phone was going put 'Cat', but I corrected it to match 'cat'. I'd be curious to know how many people on smartphones would do the same.

Took it on a smartphone. Also overrode to match case. So, at least 2.

I just pasted a picture to heavy machinery.

I included the quotes, just to be cute.

[izzydata]

I included the quotes and then typed here with a colon after it.

not to mention the obvious ones

- Cat

- Cat.
