I should probably just leave my layout as is...

So, was once again looking up journal layouts, because I can't leave well enough alone, even though I'm honestly pretty happy with my current layout and probably wouldn't find one that meets my desires any better than what I already have, but...eh, I'm one of those people who just can't stop tinkering, I guess.

Anyway, in the process, I found out that due to a coding change last year, the @ symbol is now interpreted as a call instead of a unicode character. So if one types, for example, "@username", it is rendered into [personal profile] username. And if one types "@username.site" (such as @PBS.twitter), other domain usernames can also be called (such as [twitter.com profile] PBS).

Thus, in order to get the @ to render properly in something like the (@_@) kaomoji, you need to escape the autocoding with "\", aka type "(\@_@)" to get (@_@), otherwise it will render into ([profile] _@).

My point is, if you look through my old entries and find weird moments where "[profile] _@" pops up, it's because the old code would have rendered it as "@_@". So just...replace it mentally or something.
