One of the difficulties with improvements is the need to constantly check it works on mobile. When I began, mobile was negligible. But December 2019-February 2019 saw a grim & dark & likely irreversible milestone: for the first time, mobile traffic surpassed desktop traffic.pic.twitter.com/1xk8K4xg3K

Web dev, jesus christ. Look at this crap: https://github.com/jgm/pandoc/issues/5469 … "Gee, those are nice Unicode symbols you have there in your font. Sure would be a shame if someone unilaterally by default converted them all to a dayglo kindergarten emoji with no sane way to override it."

I also get the substitution in Firefox and Chrome on MacOS. But, oddly, not in Safari on MacOS, so it seems not to be at the OS level?

This contrast (between dev rendering and user rendering) suggests Firefox thinks you should want this, and you’ll get it whether you want it or notpic.twitter.com/1dj5UqT85z

/sighs deeply as he ponders the life choices which have led him to this pass Does adding VARIANT SELECTOR-15 to the arrows in the dev tools at least fix it in all the browsers?

Working on it. There’s something subtle and demonic going on. (I’ve been bugged by this for years, myself, btw; just never reached the threshold of “wtf”)

OK, best as I can figure: adding FEOE/VS-15 doesn’t help. Tried doing this several ways and none worked but it’s possible I’m faking myself out somehow.

Also, this is semi-somewhat Github’s fault. It explicitly includes the Apple Emoji font in the CSS. If I suppress that then the arrow displays normally.

So you can probably fix this by overriding the default Github CSS.

Specifically you will need to override both markdown-body.scss and base.scss , which both supply the emoji font:pic.twitter.com/yNWLXCnEdU
