have your planned wordplays ever failed because there doesn't exist a way to produce a character that you'd need?

@0x10f @xarvos @mira the cherokee one is the only one that looks close to being right. but that's just a capital letter, i guess there isn't an equivalent small letter in cherokee alphabet?

@0x10f @Stoori @xarvos @mira Those all seem to render perfectly on my Mac (Safari 26.4, macos 15.7.6).

@saruwine @0x10f @xarvos @mira oh, it's a vivaldi problem then?

[saruwine@mementomori.social]

@Stoori @0x10f @xarvos @mira Wouldn’t be surprised if that turned out to be the case.

@Stoori @xarvos @mira Looks like there's not.

@Stoori @0x10f @xarvos @mira Checked on Waterfox (a fork of Firefox), and it seems to render those almost but not quite identically to Safari. For some reason the Cherokee A is in a serif font, and the fullwidth one is messed up. Fascinating and infuriating!

@saruwine@mementomori.social @Stoori@polyglot.city @0x10f@tech.lgbt @mira i think that that's a cherokee letter that just happens to look like a capital serif A

[saruwine@mementomori.social]

@xarvos @mira @Stoori @0x10f Oh, you’re right, of course. But I find it rather strange that apparently all Cherokee glyphs render as serif on Waterfox and sans-serif on Safari.

(This is probably nothing weirder than the two browsers defaulting to different fonts for Cherokee, but… it’s still weird.)

@Stoori Somehow read word "wordplay" as "workday" and before reading the second paragraph my mind went: "Yes, oh so many times yes, quite often I fail to produce the character in me who gets things done."
