Allow me to make one thing perfectly clear: If you insert those symbols into my perfectly working website... only to mess with me and inadvertently give me vietnam-style flashbacks to the days when I had to deal with incredibly badly formed and misencoded CSV-files on the daily...

Then I will find you and break into your home to replace every second sock with one of the same color and pattern but slightly different make, size or material and you will always wonder why you can't find any exactly fitting pairs of socks anymore.

I willingly embraced mismatched socks years ago. I just pretend it's a fashion statement. Come at me bro.

I always buy identical socks, cannot mismatch if they are all the same.

I started buying all the same sock type, but some might have a little gray or a little brown in the variation, and I dont care, I mix/match.

If one gets a hole its just one of many and is tossed.

I buy colorful, patterned socks of all kinds. Mostly they stay together, but if not, it's fun to pick new partners.
