can unicode make for nice comments?

 As a pathetic apology for making a mess of this thread by being so of putting with the above cruddy formatting, it is possible to make things nicer with adding some Unicode characters. The Em space adds a nice paragraph intent, as here.

 Footnotes can be handled with various numerals and formatted numbers. One or two of the glyphs are descriptive enough in themselves. There's a Unicode character for a pole of poo, dear me, 👀 and a tetragram for failure which won't catch on, though that caught me as I my company logo was consciously in a form of tetragram and I wonder if I couldn't sell someone a logo based on failure. This one seems appropriate for the current financial condition of the teams: 💸

 I know I'm pushing it but there's been a lot of very interesting _long comments lately, and if there's anything I can do to force my own to be readable, I'm darn well doing so. Italics are just the inline html square bracket, i , square bracket and close with the same with a / slash to end them. Wordpress themes control what's allowed from a subset of html, aren't very clear what is usable, or even how to enable anything if it's your own blog. Unicode is no perfect fix, either, it may mess up on a different browser or operating system, but it stands less chance of plain fail at the expense of a copy paste.

This is a test for a prettier list maybe for footnotes, but I am not too hopeful for it:

<OL TYPE="I">
<LI>List Item 1
<LI>List Item 2
<LI>List Item 3
</OL>
