It's publicly accessible. I don't have an account and I can read it. Try before posting.

You can view it without having to log in, unless something is blocking FB entirely. In that case, bummer, 'cuz this forum software is so... incredibly... horribly... awful that I wouldn't even try to duplicate the FB post here. Sorry!

ODE TO A SHIPPING LABEL
Once there was a little o,
with an accent on top like só.
It started out as UTF8,
(universal since '98),
but the program only knew latin1,
and changed little ó to "ó" for fun.
A second program saw the "ó"
and said "I know HTML entity!"
So "ó" was smartened to "ó"
and passed on through happily.
Another program saw the tangle
(more precisely, ampersands to mangle)
and thus the humble "ó"
became "ó"
