Ok, we've put Man Facepalming with Light Skin Tone back up there. I failed to find a way to avoid it.
Is there a way to represent this string with escaped codepoints? It would be both amusing and in HN's plaintext spirit to do it that way in the title above, but my Unicode is weak.
Thanks! Your second option is almost identical to Mlller's (https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=44988801) but the extra curly braces make it not fit. Seems like they're droppable for characters below U+FFFF, so I've squeezed it in above.
I can actually fit that within HN's 80 char limit without having to drop the "(2019)" bit at the end, so let's give it a try and see what happens... thanks!
It can be many Zero-Width Space, or a few Hair-Width Space.
You never know, when you don’t know CSS and try to align your pixels with spaces. Some programers should start a trend where 1 tab = 3 hairline-width spaces (smaller than 1 char width).
