  • Just in case…

    When they said “7 ounces / just under a cup.” that’s not a particular physical cup. A “cup” is an exact measure in the US, it’s 8 fluid ounces, which is 236.5882365 milliliters precisely.

    Even if the US does go metric, it will take a lot longer than 50 years for people to not know how big a cup is, all measuring tools in every kitchen are marked for them and the other common units like tablespoons and teaspoons*, and virtually every recipe uses them.

    *I wish I was joking.














  • And indeed 1F414 is a lower (hexadecimal) number than 1F95A, so in the absence of other criteria I’m sure in most systems it would sort first.

    They might not know the name for the extension of alphabetical order to all characters in Unicode (and neither do I) but it’s logical to associate it with alphabetical since it’s similar in concept.
