        For those of you who don't know, those are not characters that have a special font, those are actual mathematical characters that are being abused to make the text look like it has a special font in an effort to be "cute." The screen reader is doing its job correctly.

        And for those using screen readers who understandably skipped or not understood the original tweet, here's what it says: You this it's cute to write your tweets and usernames this way. But have you listened to what it sounds like with assistive technologies like VoiceOver?

        This makes me wonder whether it's possible to configure a screen reader to read map those mathematical characters to the letter they're intended to represent in these tweets?

        I'd say globally tweets written this way usually have a content you can safely skip without missing it :')

        Ummm... But those are totally valid mathematical characters. It's not the screen reader's problem.
