    ... and he's taking the time to answer that pesky phone - let's imagine the wacky conversation BT and the pirate smiley are having. Oooh, the crazyness!

    though I've a soft spot for the first few too, especially if they do some Greek line dancing

    ☺ = 263A

    ☻ = 263B

    http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Code_page_437
    The repertoire of CP437 was taken from the character set of Wang word-processing machines, according to Bill Gates in an interview with Gates and Paul Allen that in the 2nd of October 1995 edition of Fortune Magazine:

    "… we were also fascinated by dedicated word processors from Wang, because we believed that general-purpose machines could do that just as well. That's why, when it came time to design the keyboard for the IBM PC, we put the funny Wang character set into the machine—you know, smiley faces and boxes and triangles and stuff. We were thinking we'd like to do a clone of Wang word-processing software someday."
    Freedom to innovate eh?

    /me wonders why so many of people's favourite non-alphanumeric characters are alphanumeric. This thread is full of the likes of ФÆ¼ÞΨϖж and Ҝ
