Out of the Blue [May 21, 2021, 11:58 am ET] – Share – Viewing Comments
Prompted by a suggestion from Kxmode, Frans did some tinkering, and posts here
and on the forums now support additional UTF characters. These include the standard
Windows 10 emojis that can be pulled up by hitting the Windows key and
semicolon (a trick that I just learned myself). Triumph the insult comic dog will
appreciate that this offers new ways to express yourself - for him to 💩 on!
This involved changes to the underlying way special characters are handled, so
we crossed our fingers 🤞 that this would solve the occasional problems that
some of them cause, but it seems we're out of luck there. 🤷♂️

Or... if you don't have a "Windows key" on your keyboard (as I don't) but still want to use these emojis, you can activate the "Touch keyboard" on the Taskbar. Not that I particularly want to, but I was curious if they were available without the Windows key. 🖖

No, it's not news other than that news orgs like to pick up these studies for a click bait article. Click the link to the study and right at the top it says:
This article is a preprint and has not been peer-reviewed [what does this mean?]. It reports new medical research that has yet to be evaluated and so should not be used to guide clinical practice.

Never argue with an idiot. They will drag you down to their level and beat you with experience.
