Raw Blame History

Some Unicode characters that are occasionally handy:

* &#x276D; : `&#x276D;`

	`U+0276D` MEDIUM RIGHT-POINTING ANGLE BRACKET ORNAMENT

	Handy as an ornamental separator. Used by `<<menu>>` macro.

* &#96;&#96;&#96; : `&#96;&#96;&#96;`

	Triple back quotes.

	Use with `<pre>` tags for formatting things like Markdown or WikiText source code.

* &#xA937; : `&#xA937;`

	`U+A937` REJANG LETTER BA

	Useful for adding a forward slash to a Tiddler title.  **Might not be available in all fonts &mdash; it is best to avoid using slashes in titles altogether**.

* `&#x200B;`

	`U+200B` ZERO WIDTH SPACE

	Useful for preventing the Markdown auto-dingus from converting things like (&#x200B;c) into ©.

* &#xFF20;: `&#xFF20;`

	`U+FF20` FULL WIDTH COMMERCIAL AT

	Useful for email addresses that would otherwise be converted into hyperlinks which can cause problems with the very fragile Markdown parser.

* &#x263A;: `&#x263A;`

	`U+263A` WHITE SMILING FACE

* &#x2639;: `&#x2639;`

	`U+2639` WHITE FROWNING FACE
