If you do this you are fired

Why do they have two anyway?

Probably for about the same reason that there is a Unicode code point for "multiplication sign", distinct from the one for the letter x or asterisk. There might be some context (now or in the future) where it would be desirable to represent them with different glyphs (images), so they give you a way to specify exactly what you really mean. Unicode is all about future-proofing.

Might be a good way to mess around with your bosses code, i'd think he'd get more of a kick out of it than straight out fire you.

I'd argue that Oh💩 is a perfectly valid name for an error handler.

There are so many crazies, just in the standard AZ..0..9, already, we don't need any more causes of bugs.

That's a new programming language which I am going to really look forward to (NEVER!) try it out.

In your linked to page, it also includes THIS new programming language. I have NOT bothered reading it significantly, because its title includes the fact that it is a RELIGIOUS language. In a nutshell, I HATE! the concept of religious programming languages, sorry!
