Re^5: Perl Secret Operator Emojis (using bash, PowerShell and other tools)

I believe we're running into the same sort of issue we had with GINGER ROOT

Agreed.

I suspect you're seeing just three glyphs: ⚖️ & 🦪, followed by one that looks similar to 👨‍💻 (please confirm).

Confirmed.

Had I wrapped them in several "big" tags, I no doubt would have noticed the difference

Agreed. MAN and ADULT look very similar on my PC! I need to magnify the window to notice any difference. :)

For cheap thrills, just like last time, I've taken Perl and the Browser out of the equation by running the following commands in both a PowerShell window on Windows 11 and a bash window on Ubuntu 22.04.1.

PowerShell on Windows 11:

PS C:\> $joiner = [char]::ConvertFromUtf32(0x200D)
PS C:\> $pc     = [char]::ConvertFromUtf32(0x1F4BB)
PS C:\> $man    = [char]::ConvertFromUtf32(0x1F468)
PS C:\> $person = [char]::ConvertFromUtf32(0x1F9D1)
[download]

PS C:\> "$man"
👨
PS C:\> "$person"
🧑
PS C:\> "$person$joiner$pc"
🧑‍💻
PS C:\> "$man$joiner$pc"
👨‍💻
PS C:\>

bash on Ubuntu:

$ echo -e '\U1F468'
👨
$ echo -e '\U1F9D1'
🧑
$ echo -e '\U1F468\U200D\U1F4BB'
👨‍💻
$ echo -e '\U1F9D1\U200D\U1F4BB'
🧑‍💻
