... that the characters ☕, ☔, and ⚡ were originally proposed by North Korea?Source: [1][2], [3]- ALT1:
... that the North Korean national body proposed the addition of a "Hammer and Sickle and Brush" symbol to Unicode in 2001?Source: [4][5]
- ALT1:
- Comment: Article written by my friend; I suggested to her that it would be a fascinating DYK. Will do QPQ asap of course.

5x expanded by HarJIT (talk). Nominated by Maplestrip (talk) at 17:57, 4 May 2020 (UTC).
- @Maplestrip:, this is neither new nor was it a 5x expansion. What is the basis for the nomination? --evrik (talk) 00:40, 25 May 2020 (UTC)
- It was a 5x expansion in prose between April 28 and May 4 (see here). Tables of data are not included in the 5x expansion calculation for DYK. The article went from ~4 paragraphs of prose to over 40 paragraphs of prose, now I'm counting them I suppose it's even a 10x expansion. ~Maplestrip/Mable (chat) 07:57, 25 May 2020 (UTC)

... that the characters ☕, ☔, and ⚡ were originally proposed by North Korea, though not always with their final proposed meanings? 
Nominated at the time of its expansion. Long enough, sourced, QPQ done. Offering a new hook. --evrik (talk) 19:09, 26 May 2020 (UTC)
- I find this less snappy and eye-catching, but it's accurate and fine. I'm alright with this alt if you think the original hook is not acceptable, though I don't think the note "not always with their final proposed meanings" is necessary for the hook at all... ~Maplestrip/Mable (chat) 09:29, 27 May 2020 (UTC)
- I also prefer ALT0, but maybe it would benefit from adding the word
Unicode

- Meanwhile, there are numerous paragraphs in the article without any cites, per WP:DYKSG#D2. There are also some "citation needed" tags. Yoninah (talk) 23:21, 13 June 2020 (UTC)
- The addition of "Unicode" (ALT0a) looks good :) — as for the paragraph with the "citation needed" tags, I think @HarJIT: would be the best person to solve that if she can. ~Maplestrip/Mable (chat) 11:08, 14 June 2020 (UTC)
- I've done another pass over the article today, adding several more in-line citations, and also removing the tagged uncited edition years (I'd not found mention of those editions outside of Wikipedia itself, and even if they were genuine, they were not editions which I have been able to find any further detail about, so mentioning them seemed not to be crucial). --HarJIT (talk) 15:27, 14 June 2020 (UTC)
