gollark: No, those would just rotate themselves.
gollark: Oh, and U+202E RIGHT TO LEFT OVERRIDE has to appear and be annoying, yes.
gollark: Also, so that it's educational, the movie needs to show what each character is (both char code and Unicode name) and explain important details like UTF-8 encoding.
gollark: Maybe have a character not render properly, as a joke.
gollark: And have invisible characters act as important things.
