Nicer Tweets
by Christoph KoeberlinWhy limit your tweets to what’s accessible through the keyboard? With emoji and symbol keyboards, access to fancier stuff never was easier. Typefacts still likes to show you what’s possible beyond that.
Besides letters, numerals and punctuation, there’s much more to find in unicode, and some of it might give some extra flavour to your tweets.
Of course you are not restricted to Twitter, but bear in mind that the more exotic characters might not be included in the font that displays your message. Also, semantics will be broken, so when setting a word with e.g. black letter, it won’t be barrier-free.
Examples
Curse, and censor yourself:
✠⚠♠✘☠↯★! You old █████!
Choose your favourite XI:
❶ Buffon ❷ Maldini ❸ Ivanov ❹ Roberto Carlos ❺ Beckenbauer ❻ Pirlo ❼ Cristiano Ronaldo ❽ Best ❾ Cruyff ❿ Pelé ⓫ Messi
Tell your sympathies:
I ♥ Typefacts! I ♠ Lemmy! I ☭ Lenin! I ☢ Fukushima!
Play Twitter chess:
♘ to C7!
Leave the door open:
☐ Yes – ☐ No – ☑ Maybe
… travel properly:
From København to Łódź.
Just copy and paste the symbol to Twitter! ☺
