AMP HTML uses some stupid Unicode emoji character: `<html > ^ HN filtered out the voltage symbol, bravo.` Just, no, Google. You're not Ken fucking Iverson, and this is not APL. Just supporting one way of doing it, <html amp>, is perfectly fine.

I suppose they do this because some html processors do stupid things with `amp` - because it might be part of the ampersand html entity.
