For some or other reason, typing @ᔕᖺᘎᕊ in a chat room pings everyone who's been in that chat room for the last 7 days...
Seems to work in all chat rooms (I only tested 2 as I don't want to upset too many people...)
How should we proceed?

46@PatrickHofman Switch to a binary collation. Apparently SQL Server tries to be really smart when comparing strings even though I'd just like to compare two strings thank you very much. Credit for the quick fix goes to Nick Craver by the way who knew immediately why SQL Server was behaving like this. Sep 24, 2015 at 13:23

22@ShadowWizard I can get onboard with that placement of blame. Sep 24, 2015 at 13:38

4I'm conflicted. The answer demonstrates a bad thing, and therefore should be downvoted, but it also explains the root of the problem, so it should be upvoted. Sep 24, 2015 at 14:04

21but wait... why has this only started happening now? Did something else change in chat recently that triggered it?– ᔕᖺᘎᕊSep 24, 2015 at 19:41

6@ᔕᖺᘎᕊ Hmm that's a great question. I had assumed that your name was new, but apparently that's not the case. We'll look a bit closer. Sep 24, 2015 at 19:45

So, was it because the collation used didn't have any sort order for canadian syllabics? (If so, similar to stackoverflow.com/questions/20226851/…)– ninjaljSep 27, 2015 at 10:34

ᔕᖺᘎᕊis an amazing way to find sites that duplicate (legally or illegally) SO content, since @ᔕᖺᘎᕊ posts a lot but otherwise those characters don't really get used for anything.
