Ha. TIL that if you XOR the car emoji with 0x20 (ie. you make it "lower case"), you get the "no pedestrian" emoji. It probably won't encode below but this was copied and pasted from tfa. It seems too coincidental to be an accident - anyone who has insight to know whether this was done on purpose?
If you take this too far, you might get strange ideas, like the lower-case version of the car emoji being a ‘no pedestrians’ sign:
>>> chr(ord('') ^ 32)
''
