I had to install a whole other font just to get some characters working in my Rich Text Editor for notes on something.
But apparently, I accidentally pasted in my section on everything, and the characters work fine on Tumblr?????? What? Okay? Like what am I gonna need that for anyway?????
Separate but related revelation: I thought NOISZ ARC⌖CODA's symbol was the supposed to be coda from musical notation (y'know, given the name). But it's a different Unicode character?
Coda is this: 𝄌. This one (⌖) is a symbol for position tolerance in engineering? At least according to Wikipedia (great source, I know/s). I'm guessing that it was intentional because coda isn't as widely supported by fonts as the position tolerance symbol. Again, I literally had to download a new font to get coda working in my RTF but did literally nothing for ⌖, and it was fine. (LAST⌖ARC also uses the position tolerance one and not coda).
The distinction only really matters when typing the name, and honestly, even if it looks wrong to me, I'll still use the position tolerance character and not the coda one. It's just that… I can't unsee it now.
