The character is used by another famous piece of software for what, 40 years?

https://x.org/wiki/



X.org doesn’t use that character. But e.g. TeX probably did before Unicode.


But X windows is dead or dying. Oh, so is Twitter?


I expect that 𝕏11 will survive twitter.

edit: using proper typography.


Reports of X11's death have been greatly exaggerated as far as I can see; it's still clinging stubbornly on, and efforts to kill it have tended not to go well.


Wayland is still trying really hard.


I hope not. I’m still using 𝕏Compose.
