TL;DR
An online disassembler for x86 revealed that emoji can be encoded in URLs, leading to a humorous connection between the goat emoji and the NOP opcode.
✦ Why It Matters
Explore how encoding can create unexpected connections in your own projects today.
Key Takeaways
- Explore using emoji as a programming language.
- Experiment with encoding emoji into machine code.
- Consider the implications of non-traditional characters in coding.
- Investigate the potential for playful programming techniques.
How It Works
The author encodes emoji into x86 assembly instructions, leveraging the fact that many emoji start with the byte sequence F09F. Each emoji corresponds to specific machine code instructions, allowing for the construction of executable programs.
For example, the goat emoji represents a NOP instruction, while sequences of emoji can perform various operations, effectively creating a new form of programming language.
