Vicodin is good stuff. You should try coding on Vicodin, it feels great. '''[[User:Davidy22|Davidy22]]'''[[User talk:Davidy22|<tt>[talk]</tt>]] 13:54, 8 January 2013 (UTC)

A doc
White Hat's wife will not have her job for long. {{unsigned ip|108.162.245.69}}

Suggest marking as incomplete. Source is Wikipedia? Is there someone who has more familiarity with opioids who can comment? And what's the purpose of the title text? Stating it's incorrect does very little to explain the joke (which I don't really get). [[User:Wikiiscool123|Wikiiscool123]] ([[User talk:Wikiiscool123|talk]]) 12:30, 23 October 2017 (UTC)

It is just me or the title comic is showing as The窶叡acon for someone else? [[Special:Contributions/172.68.25.39|172.68.25.39]] 20:23, 12 December 2019 (UTC)

The title is showing Theâ€‰bacon for me. Is the title showing different unicode characters to different people? [Gopher] 15 Dec 2019

I suspect the above two users were experiencing their browser making an incorrect assumption about the page's character encoding. The title uses the unicode "thin space" (U+2009) which is three bytes of UTF-8, all with their highest bit set. In Windows-1252, these three bytes correspond to â€‰. In Shift JIS, a byte with the highest bit set begins a two-byte sequence, so in this case those three bytes combined with the following "b" from "bacon" produce the two characters 窶叡. The comic presumably uses the thin space in the first place as a compromise between "The bacon" and "Thebacon". [[User:Socksbuny|Socksbuny]] ([[User talk:Socksbuny|talk]]) 00:18, 15 May 2026 (UTC)
