Gitmoji – Yay or Nay?

I was keying in my confirmation code into the self checkin machine to get my boarding pass the other day. The code was something like EFO123. Was that a letter or a digit? I got it wrong, fortunately the software said it interpreted 0 as O and gave me the ticket.

Now multiply this by a thousand with Unicode exact lookalike glyphs.

Emoji like those in this article don't have this issue though.

You can still have problems with them. They propose to ID a commit type by the first character.

Arabic is written from right to left. Which emoji is the first character of this sequence? It actually depends on the position of invisible LTR control characters.

علامة يمين-إلى-يسا

EDIT: BTW, HN does not support emojis apparently
