@secoops @xssfox How do those get into posts?

I imagine it's a copy-and-paste thing but no idea.

I don't know why they don't get filtered out when the user hits post.

I'm guessing given it's just a unicode character, it's considered a valid character and no different to the other fun ones like: ☠ ✖ ☢ ☣

@discatte @xssfox I had a job posting that septuple escaped '(' and ')' from the job title to create the URL slug.

I had to file it, and my state's firewall decided it was malicious and blocked me from adding it to my list. 😅

@xssfox One can still improve "Put � in random text fields" - in text fields or labels that always have the same text, put � into random places, different ones each time.
Parsing errors suck but intermittent, seemingly random parsing errors from same input drive devs insane! Muhaha.

As the saying goes: life is a battle between developers trying to develop idiot-proof software and the universe trying to produce bigger idiots. This is a lovely new front of this very real and important conflict.
