how2kaomoji ᕕ( ᐛ )ᕗ

back in 2017 or so, the cia's kaomoji were leaked. like emoji, they're just text, but they feature some uncommon glyphs that cannot be input by the average keyboard very easily even nowadays. the cia's list is fairly extensive, but sometimes a draconian filter in a chatroom can prevent you from being obnoxious with a fair chunk of them, so i've come to gain some of this top secret intelligence myself. here are some tips.

let's deconstruct the boi in the title. it's made from characters originating from canadian aboriginal languages. i don't know how to read or write any of these, but i know what it is because the properties of text can be made visible:

by toggling the characters view, this can display each of the characters in text with a numeric codepoint a computer can understand and a name a human can understand. the number is important because it can point us to a particular block of codepoints to yank into a text field.

these can be displayed to the right by clicking on any of the characters found, but when writing these, i'd rather just have an index of all of them. at the same time, sometimes it's a lot easier just to search common graphical units since they can be sprinkled throughout the blocks on this index, e.g.

block

circle

ring

accent

operator

dash

line

space

sometimes a character is not one codepoint, e.g. õ_õ is 5 codepoints despite displaying like 3 characters because i shoved some combining codepoints in there. these are typically written after a character to which they get glued in their visible format. these are difficult for some sites to render, so err against depending on them.

it can take several tries to eke anything resembling a face out of these sites. keep trying, you'll get something or other eventually.

huge oversight @ mathematics

arithmetic should work like this:

e.g. Arithmefix(9) + 11 == 110 because it’s just 9 + 1 with a 1 in front

are those pictures of Bush vipers real????? they're the most adorable thing I've ever seen

Yes! The first picture of them on the pencil is of babies (a lot of zoos will take pictures of new baby bush vipers on a pencil for scale, they're so tiny!) and the adults will usually stay under about 2 feet long. And variable bush vipers especially come in so many colors!

Bush vipers are often green, but they can also be black, red, yellow, brown, grey, and even this purple-ish color.

This is now a bush viper appreciation post!
