More brand shaming for using Mathematical Alphanumerics.

We can't wait for a Mathematical Alphanumerics flavor Oreo.

(Also, don't use them for accessible communication)

Dear brands. Shut up with the mathematical alphanumeric "fonts".

Dear "News":

Shut your pew hole with those mathematical alphanumerics.

Oh No. The Brands™ have found Zalgo.

Stop using mathematical alphanumeric symbols if you want to convey information. Lot of people can't read/access them.

Sure, maybe the screen readers *should* be able to handle them. But they generally can't. So, stop.

They want your blood, but now are willing to extract it from your eyes and ears.

A second appearance in our thread of shame for @DemGovs. Some over-zealous social media manager intern using a "font" changer.

Stop it, you 𝔹𝕦𝕞 ℝ𝕖𝕖𝕜𝕚𝕟𝕘 ℕ𝕦𝕥 𝔹𝕖𝕟𝕕𝕖𝕣.

@DemGovs It's officially *fuck accessibility* season.

Like, if you are a CBS News affiliate in Arizona.

@DemGovs Okay #NotAllBrands. Maybe they can be taught.

@DemGovs @BTP Anyone know how to untag in a solo tweetstorm in New Twitter? Our tweets have been @-ing "demgovs" but there is no UI in (Add another Tweet) to remove it.

Yeah. Maybe don't use Mathematical Alphanumeric symbols to attempt to convey important information if you're a ƒủćꝂỉἤꞡ law enforcement agency.

Sportsbrand just struck out in striking out. Inaccessible.

No! Bad politician!

[sprays with squirt bottle]

No Mathematical Alphanumerics for fake styling! Bad! Not universally supported, and not accessible to screenreaders!

[sprays more]

You're supposed to be progressive. Delete and try again.

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

(But specifically for them, and maybe brands. Probably shouldn't shame twee[s who aren't public figures. Gentle reminders, if necessary. ) Several twitter accounts calling out Jeremy Corbyn for using mathematical bold Unicode in tweets.
