FAQ:

Q: Why are the characters smooshed up like that?
A: That is something called "overprint" that is used in the printing process. Most may not use it, but I assure you the glyphs work as intended. They add a border around the previous character and are intended to add emphasis. It is not a feature common to many text editors.

A:

  • Hollow Diamond (overprint): J
