For things that are "hmmm".
Rule 1: All post titles except for meta posts should be just plain "hmmm" and nothing else, no emotes, no capitalisation, no extending it to "hmmmm" etc.

does that character actually help with whatever you're doing?
Well it definitely seems to net them a lot of downvotes if that's the goal
I can't find that alt text in any of the fonts on my system. Hmmm. Some Hooked on Phonics alphabet I guess.
It's in Icelandic keyboard layouts (as it's still used), and is a pop-up character for "t" on many Android keyboards if you turn on "extra characters" to get extended international Latin characters. It's in most Unicode fonts I've seen - it's Unicode codepoint(s) U+00DE (cap) & U+00FE, so not too far in.
You can also get to it wiþ the Compose key if you're on Linux. Compose, T, H. þ
(Uppercase TH gets you uppercase Þ.)

Now that would be an interesting challenge. How to get downvotes without being blatantly abrasive.
