What's with the random unicode characters spread throughout this article? Several headings and sentences are prefixed oddly with an exclamation mark ("\u2757\ufe0f"), or diamond ("\U0001f537").


There's an “Emoji Legend“ near the top of the article.

It's a nice idea, flagging part of the text with coarse semantic meaning. However, I find I don't trust the writer's judgement to decide what is important for me; I must read the whole thing anyway.


I've never encountered an "Emoji Legend" before. I instinctively skip over the word "emoji" so I missed that section.


It seems that the author has chosen to annotate the page with emojis. There is a legend near the top of the page
