(Don't do this: it's _terrible_ for accessibility, as screen readers can't parse these as regular text)


Can confirm. All I see are [X]'s.

I'm curious if that copied the text or the placeholders. It's like hunter2 for the modern era.

It copied the text.


FWIW for most of these sorts of things you can scrub it via passing the text through an NFKC or NFKD transform. I'd hope that a screen reader can be updated to handle this case.



These are Unicode characters intended for use in mathematical formulas, not text, so they break all sorts of things. It might make some sense to use them in mathematical Python code (where they do seem to work), but they're hard to type.


Looks like Unicode characters to me.
