Blog ≫ 2017 ≫ Boring for you but amusing to me

Hmm that is the topic of this whole blog really...

You can use unicode in code, html, css, javascript 1 etc... just redoing some of my website and replaced any mention of "stars" and "star" (star ratings like I mentioned earlier) with a ★ symbol and it all works just fine... valuable saving of characters and the code all still makes sense semantically. Sort of.

.★ {
  width: 200px;
  position: relative;
}
.★ a {
  display: block;
}

Means you can safely use Greek letters as var names:

const π = 3.14

A bit pointless but fun.

  1. Programming language of the web, mostly how I make my living.
