Unicode truly is amazing.
Like that fake apple site that uses the Cyrillic A instead of the Latin A.
Or the Greek question mark being a different code to Latin question marks.

Greek-Latin question mark Actually the Greek question mark (;) looks like the Latin semi-colon (;)! Last time I looked it up I think I found they are the same, and I tried compiling C with a Greek question mark instead of a semi-colon and it compiled fine! But I’m curious if it was because of something else, like my keyboard layout, or the compiler simply being able to handle them 🤔
