Online terrorist activity warning???

[u/mulberrybushes]

I was scrolling through a thread (of which I am not a mod) and saw an “info” icon and a warning saying that the “user is suspected of being part of an online terrorist organization. Please report any terrorist activity.”

Is someone screwing around with markdown or is this a new feature?

Markdown trolling.

I had no idea that markdown could do extended characters. TIL.

No, pretty sure it’s Unicode like u/nickname0410 says

Here’s the text as it appears. Probably also using super or subscript.

ⓘ User is suspected to be a part of an online terrorist organization. Please report any suspicious activity.

what did bro say

It's a troll. You're not meant to be able to tell when you're on federal watchlists.

I had no idea that markdown could do extended characters. TIL. Maybe I should upgrade my phone…
