Hey HN. This is my second experiment trying to find interesting and novel ways to communicate using wearable devices.

My wife and I use this to tell each other how our days are going, remind each other of things, and send silly little mini messages to each other. Has been fun.

Let me know what you think.

In the submitted title: am I supposed to see something at Unicode codepoint U+F8FF (Private Use Area)? (Right now I see [block with F8FF]Watch.)
What client/OS are you seeing that on? It's the Apple logo's unicode character code I suppose.
Linux. Ah I see what happened. There is no such thing an Apple logo Unicode character. Whatever sits in the Private Use Area is only defined within the context of a specific font. You are using a font that has Apple's logo in it on that position. You may want to avoid using it in normal text.

This page explains it neatly:
