Ask HN: Why are emoji banned on HN?

3 点作者 jai_大约 4 年前

It seems that emoji (and possibly other Unicode text) will be automatically removed from submission and comment text.<p>Is there a reason for this?

In addition to what gtirloni said ..... Dan G (hn@ycombinator.com) is a reasonable fellow that is always happy to answer these eternal 'Why doesn't HN do xyz' type questions.<p>I would suggest that going that route is better than polluting the HN submission queue with these and similar ‘Eternal September’ ask HN type postings.<p>Karma be damned, It needed to be said.
