I've actually been employing Emoji Separated Values (ESV), often , here and there when doing some of this kind of work. Granted, it's not standard, but it's been really useful when I've needed it.

*edit Apparently emojis don't fly here, but it was an index finger pointing right.

The benefit of this is that you can use different emojis to denote content type.

e.g. if it's a frowny face you know it's an invoice.

Funnily enough, I published a Python library two days ago that uses emojis to indicate where certain non-msgpackable builtin types have been forced into msgpackable objects: https://github.com/umarbutler/persist-cache/blob/main/src/pe...

is used for tuples, for sets, for frozen sets, for pickles, for bytes and for bytearrays.

I thought it was pretty ingenious but clearly I’m not the only one to think of it.

Only a matter of time before something breaks catastrophically but it hasn't happened yet.
