Tag Alias: solid_circle_eyes <-> •_•

Aliasing:

solid_circle_eyes <-> •_•

Reasons: I think both are the same.

forum #66940

We only use tags that can be typed on a keyboard, for convenience.

• On the one hand, forum #66940 pointed out that we wouldn't ever have •_• as a tag name because of its weird untypeable characters.
• On the other hand, we have the alias ichigo 100% -> ichigo 100 percent (per forum #67639), to make the shorter problematic version available, too.

I (temporarily) tested •_•...

• Posts can be tagged "•_•" and this tag is searchable, even though it becomes unsearchable when I type http://danbooru.donmai.us/wiki/show?title=%95_%95 directly in the address bar.
• And, everyone knows this, but it's important: we have o_o for white-filled circle eyes.

So, I think it's a good idea making "•_•" available by aliasing •_• -> solid circle eyes.

EDIT: Ninja'd by Aristocrat.

The percent sign is not an untypable character; it's a special character used in SQL queries to denote a wildcard, so it probably got sanitized from search queries and database entries, therefore making it unsearchable. If it didn't have that issue, the percent sign would be permissible to use in tags, like the exclamation point.

I also don't think anyone would actually tag something •_• by going out of their way to copy-paste it or memorizing the alt code for the • character.

Maybe Lunatic6 would?

OK, but I didn't say the % is untypeable; I said it is "problematic".

but we have the ⑨ tag alias with (9)...

Also it's just alt+numpad7 though.

Edit: Also it's either way around. solid_circle_eyes will still be the name of the tag but just aliased with •_•

Also I just notice, we also had the heart_eyes tag. maybe aliasing it to ♥_♥ just in case.

(Alt codes for ♥ would be alt+numpad3)

Just as a side note, I do that kind of stuff in other contexts. The alt code for • is 0149.

But seriously, Danbooru does not even use Latin letters with diacritics. So, − 1. (Just for the hell of it, I copy-pasted the correct minus sign from Wikipedia.)

More specifically, on a keyboard with the U.S. QWERTY layout. :p

A good point, yet I would argue that one is exceptional and far more intuitive and unambiguous than •_•.

Eh, normally we wouldn't do it but I'm already here reading this thread, so I've submitted that and the heart one. I'm not going to do every possible one though. Done.
