I still remember being handed a flier with a list of definitions when entering the theater to see this. I remember wondering how we were expected to read it in the dark.

Excellent! And useful in case I ever attempt to make sense of that thing again. This might have been Peak Geek Twitter for this month, if Karl Urban hadn’t given a gaggle of rabid Trek fanficcers the shock of their lives. I’m still laughing three weeks later.

There’s a Kaaba emoji? Live and learn.
I looked at and thought “is that what I think it is?”

Good do you bring the shortening of the way to understanding that tweet
#DUNE is "Lawrence of Arabia" in outer space
I think that’s 45 characters.

You need a better browser and/or OS! But seriously Unicode emoji support varies enormously by browser and OS.
(Looks fine on Windows 10, Chrome and also fine on Mobile Safari, iOS)
So why does it work differently in the same browser for the blog and the BBS?
Twitter embeds are replacing the Unicode with images, most likely. We do that too (in post bodies) so you are not at the mercy of your platform’s Unicode font rendering choices – some emoji can look quite different between Android and iOS and Windows.

Damn, I don’t know how to post a picture. Is there a help page somewhere?
