I really hate that the TM emoji exists when the unicode ™ is older and objectively better.

Honestly, I hate that typographic characters get to bring their own random-ass color. One of reddit's few ingenious decisions was being plain text. Every 00s forum was a clusterfuck of tiny custom PNGs and GIFs for cutesy smiley-face nonsense. You'd see hundreds of them on some pages, despite only getting twenty comments per page... mostly giant blocks of the same ones thanks to the plague that was forum signatures. (Also highlighting why nested replies were such a godsend.) Getting rid of that shit and having a text medium composed entirely of text was such a breath of fresh air. Ten years later every front-page post was littered with multicolor Wingdings horseshit, and new users couldn't figure out why old reddit was so hostile to comments that slayed on Facebook.
