I'm pretty sure that's a font problem, not a FP specific one.

Following up, Emojis are pretty much unicode and only work if the system looking at it has Emojis and also follows it's standard, like Windows 8 and above, Android, iOS, OSX, etc.

The only way to [I]really[/I] support this is using some Javascript code or a web font that [I]hopefully[/I] doesn't cock up everything, assuming font fallbacks work like that, which I doubt.

Or make a variable depending on where you live and your country's standards.
Can anyone explain to me why the Ticker lags, and starts heating my Macbook up when I go on it? It also makes everything else extremely laggy whilst doing so.

You must have a [I]really[/I] old Macbook or flooded with background programs, because the ticker simply sends XHR requests to Facepunch's server every second to check for new updates.

[QUOTE=Intoxicated Spy;47830027]or switch everything to 24h time.[/QUOTE] Is 24 hour time pretty common in America or something? Most things I can think of use 12 hour time (such as public clocks, bus/train timetables, etc).

Nothing I know makes use of 12h time, except some things that are from other countries in the world. I I find numbers way easier to compare than AM PM. I know AM is before 12 (noon) and PM is after 12 and before midnight, but, it's harder to see than just numbers. And, I still don't know if 12:30 AM is 30 minutes past noon or 30 minutes past midnight.
appeal for metric time

It's easy if you were raised with it.
[QUOTE=Emperor Scorpious II;47832260]It's easy if you were raised with it.[/QUOTE]
Raised with 12h time, 24h time is just better.
24h is easy to read even if you weren't raised with it or it's not a standard where you live

Decimal time is/was actually a thing:

24 and 12 is the same shit. The one americans use is closer to analog clocks while 24 fits digital.
24 is metric and 12 is imperial. One makes conversion easier (24 hours = 1 day) and the other is outdated.

metric is solely units in amplitudes of 10, the different time preferences are for all intents and purposes an arbitrary number that came about due to mechanical clockmaking and how timing worked (arguably imperial by comparison to metric). 12 vs 24h is an entirely preferential difference of the same thing, unless you've got a 12h analog clock and no sunlight cycle to tell whether it's noon or midnight
let's get off the clock talk tho
just make it unix time

Ok how about we have them all but people get the choice of changing them because we're not going to get anywhere when people keep fighting back and forth about which one is better.
Just picking one and not giving the options for others would be unfair for people who are use to other ones so the best option is give the user the choice of picking if they want this type or that type

What if we want the tooltip to display in a different calendar format then? Solar Hijri calendars would be fun to have.

The kinds of people that actually complain about 12-hour time are the same people who complain about Americans driving on the "wrong" side of the road, writing words like "color" wrong, and pronouncing words like "Jaguar" wrong. You know what else they have? The distinct inability to get over themselves.
There is nothing "up-to-date" about 24-hour time vs. 12-hour time.
These changes are pretty neat, thanks Robotboy!
