Re: emojis for mouse buttons?

As I have already said, this will not do. Mouses do not have “left” and “right” buttons; they have “primary” buttons, which may be on the left or right, and “secondary” buttons, which may be on the right or left. If this goes through, users with left-handed mouse setups will curse you forever.

Re: IBM 1620 invalid character symbol

I don’t know what your snippet is from, but the normally authoritative IBM manual, A26-5706-3, IBM 1620 CPU Model 1 (July, 1965) displays what is clearly the Cyrillic letter. Whether it should be regarded as that, or as a distinct character, is another question. See
