...why aren't emojis used in math?
i was thinking about some math thing just now (tldr) and realized i needed to pick a variable for a quantity. and i'm thinking: they've used all the greek letters already. these are totally tapped out, and... wait, why don't they use emojis? ...or, given that math is Serious Business, at least a few of the other ones we have available? ♥ = 3♬·ツ
other than "it kind of goes against the grain for them to use these" i think the answer is "ironic as it is, though math software is geared to transcribe stuff you can't usually transcribe on a computer, math software cannot handle normal special characters" and so it's a technical hurdle in typing up a paper.
so i'll just use one for my thing, i think. i'm not sure which one yet. but i figured this was worth a mention meanwhile
