A community for your defence shitposting needs

Rules

1. Be niceDo not make personal attacks against each other, call for violence against anyone, or intentionally antagonize people in the comment sections.

2. Explain incorrect defense articles and takes

If you want to post a non-credible take, it must be from a "credible" source (news article, politician, or military leader) and must have a comment laying out exactly why it's non-credible. Random twitter and YouTube comments belong in the Low Hanging Fruit thread.

3. Content must be relevant

Posts must be about military hardware or international security/defense. This is not the page to fawn over Youtube personalities, simp over political leaders, or discuss other areas of international policy.

4. No racism / hatespeech

No slurs. No advocating for the killing of people or insulting them based on physical, religious, or ideological traits.

5. No politics

We don't care if you're Republican, Democrat, Socialist, Stalinist, Baathist, or some other hot mess. Leave it at the door. This applies to comments as well.

6. No seriousposting

We don't want your uncut war footage, fundraisers, credible news articles, or other such things. The world is already serious enough as it is.

7. No classified material

Classified information is off limits regardless of how "open source" and "easy to find" it is.

8. Source artwork

If you use somebody's art in your post or as your post, the OP must provide a direct link to the art's source in the comment section, or a good reason why this was not possible (such as the artist deleting their account). The source should be a place that the artist themselves uploaded the art. A booru is not a source. A watermark is not a source.

9. No low-effort posts

No egregiously low effort posts. These include Social media screenshots with a title punchline / no punchline, recent (after the start of the Ukraine War) reposts, simple reaction & template memes, and images with the punchline in the title. Put these in weekly Low effort thread instead.

10. Don't get us banned

No brigading or harassing other communities. Do not post memes with a "haha people that I hate died… haha" punchline or violating the sh.itjust.works rules (below). This includes content illegal in Canada.

Wake up, babe, new Cyrillic letter 𑪽 just dropped! Do we put it between И and Я?

Just took a bit of scrolling through UnicodePad. I knew it would likely not be in the Basic Multilingual Plane (U+0000~U+FFFF) because QaZ didn't have it so I just scrolled from the end (skimming past obviously irrelevant blocks like emoji, music or too curly) and found U+11ABD 𑪽: CANADIAN SYLLABICS SPI in the Unified Canadian Aboriginal Syllabics-Extended A block. Another option is the Insert Symbol function in Google Docs, which recognizes Unicode characters by a shape you draw, but it's been around for 10+ years and seems to not have been updated to include 𑪽.

Oddly enough, the normal Z-shape is present in various scripts (𐌶𐔇𐨚𑢩𑪼𑫑ꮓⲌᮔᏃ႗ჍΖ) and so is the И-shape, but their mirror images are way less common. Perhaps it is more natural for right-handed people to draw / diagonals than \.
