I was trying to html-ify some page I getted and randomly noticed weird ass character (reddit titles) and then I got it down to a list of mostly stupid emojies.
Basically HTML was rendering those fancy quotation marks weirdly so I was just gonna regex replace the most frequent ones.
Then I found this character that just looks like a space.
I tried asking od -X
what it was but
printf "___ ___"
was turning into
printf "__ ___"
and it would just glitch out the characters so I just put it in a file and asked it that way..
so
\xef\xb8\x8f
(i clicked post on the post too early not done yet...)
So then I opened up the file where I have this "character(s)" in and WTF is this and more importantly how does this end up in a reddit title lmfao??
So I opened the file and wrote
The quick brown fox (deleted 3 to change fox to marsey) marsey (newline)
jumped over the slow carp
what is this black magic
