Seeing more of these in response to politicians and news agencies using fucked up Unicode to convey information. Keep up the shame.

If you need to call out a less communication-critical account, perhaps do so as a threaded reply rather than public. Especially private accounts with few followers.

If you /must/ use Mathematical Alphanumerics on your personal account, then be aware that you might not convey information to everyone.

Yes, there are more important things right now than calling out mathematical alphanumeric abuse.
BUT PEOPLE MIGHT NOT KNOW WHAT THOSE IMPORTANT THINGS ARE IF THEY ARE TWEETED IN MATHEMATICAL ALPHANUMERICS.
