I like the diversity of sphincter options in unicode and encourage their use. Here are a few of my favorites:

@ericjmorey I like this one

It provides for control over certain functions, but it is underutilized.

Only three? Not directly connected? No, we should use something like ꙮ instead.

That honeycomb is better fit tbh. Who cares about the meaning of the symbol? 99.99% people only look at the visual symbol itself.

We should use this as the fediverse flag

Prepend https://browser.pub/ to the URL you want to check: browser.pub/https://lemmy.ml/post/19589249

Oh, please don’t start using that symbol for the fediverse.

I kind of like the symbol, so long as it’s used as a symbol. The problem is it doesn’t really make sense in the headline; imagine if we inserted a bird symbol before the word Twitter or the little space dude before reddit.
