Phrases

These achieve the same goals of conciseness and expressivity, but are not recognised as individual characters.

• ¯\(ツ)/¯
• (V)(°,,,,°)(V)

Tools

• Underlining

Font Support

• Ubuntu 19 with Pycharm 2019.2 causes Unicode glyphs to be invisible, with 0 width. To get around this, I followed the advice here:

   sudo apt-get install -y fonts-symbola
   fc-cache --force --verbose
   echo "Restart the IDE now"
