In micron files, '-' at the beginning of a line creates a separator and '-.' creates a dotted line. -🌞 does not create a line of emoji but crashes nomadnet.

It is possble to make other nomadnet browsers crash by visiting your site.

Despite that, you can lock yourself from your editor. By opening a file containing a -emoji at the beginning of a line, nomadnet will crash. Also if you open the editor again until the file is fixed from outside. If you don't know, it will be hard to track. If you accidentally clicked the wrong file, you may have even missed which one.
Typing the combination in the editor makes nomadnet crash, too. But the file will not already be saved at that time and you have a clean state on restart but maybe some work lost.

It should be totally fine to display such combinations as a standard separator, if there are difficulties with different emoji widths.

(had difficulties reaching other destinations, so I try it here. thx)
