HackerNews should make each such topic a fundraiser.

Want to comment on it? This will be $10. An upvote? $1. A downvote? $50. A snarky comment could cost $100 to be overlooked by the moderators.

$5 is a tiny one from the Basic Multilingual Plane. Complex ones are $5/byte, calculated from encoding each emoji into its own UTF-8 sequence.
