Some users have a green checkmark besides their name, what does that mean?

@selectnull Absolutely nothing! ;)

People have been putting a checkmark emoji next to their names to poke fun at Twitter verification.

@qonnyr ok, thought as much. but i'm not sure how it's done. doesn't really matter :)

@selectnull On twitter, it symbol means "Official user".
BUT, on mastodon, they aren't it. They use character symbol.

@key_chan Great, I tried it, it works. Now let's not use it all... :)

@selectnull Ooops "colon white_check_mark colon"

colon is ":"

@selectnull Oh, Are you Pythonista!?
I might belong, but do you know Markdown from the past?
I'm ashamed.

I' m learning Python and English.
I use broken English.
Ah, I can write poor sentences...

@key_chan yup, i'm pythonista. What do you mean by "markdown from the past" ?

@selectnull Some programmers use Markdown in Github. So, I think "All programmers can understand the Markdown language".

It means that I ask "Perhaps you know already markdown language ? "

@key_chan Sure, markdown is just slight markup over plain text.

This is one example from my github project: github.com/selectnull/ave

Just see how it's done by reading README.md file.

@selectnull I have a misunderstanding!!

The character could be used in UTF, then many -- in the range of I can look-- use it in markdown.
It character said Emoji, but perhaps it is used in small area in Asia.
I have a misunderstanding with " ALL MARKDOWN USER KNOW EMOJI".
I take it wrong.
