Not a fan of the name, and the image they use isn't _even_ a tipi.

In their title, they use the character U+26FA TENT, which could be depicted as any kind of tent. In the body, GitHub replaces emoji with images for some reason, in this case a particularly weird thing that isn’t even obviously a tent. (I presume this is what you’re remarking on.)

The screenshot shows what I presume is actually the logo, which is a tipi.

Do you see something different than I do? I see a typical orange two-man tent

Every browser / os can have different emoji fonts

I feel bad that whenever I read the name I think “I AM CORNHOLIO, I NEED TIPI FOR MY BUNGHOLE”…

Just a github issue. Here it's a tipi

It comes from the Lakota language.

It comes from the Siouan languages of which Lakota is one. Dakota has it spelled and spoken the same. The written i has an ee sound when spoken.
