    You already have an Octocat avatar and a kitty cat hat. Does the addition of this cat symbol mean you'll be a Decacat? Commented Dec 19, 2013 at 15:00

    That cat appears to me as an empty rectangle, this character doesn't seem supported widely enough to use it for this purpose. Commented Dec 19, 2013 at 15:01

    Square cat?? i.sstatic.net/hpY2c.png is this a new type of cat? Commented Dec 19, 2013 at 15:01

    Damnit, I guess your font doesn't support 💩 either? :p Commented Dec 19, 2013 at 15:02

    I'd suggest to just display the logos of the site the user is a mod on after the user name. But that is going to use too much space for at least one mod ;-). Commented Dec 19, 2013 at 15:07

    I think something like the A51 gray diamond + count would be good there. Commented Dec 19, 2013 at 15:20

    @KorneelBouman So it's important that I not import whatever character encoding my browser is missing because if I am able to observe the cat I will be killing it? Commented Dec 19, 2013 at 16:40

    How about using â—Š? Commented Dec 21, 2013 at 15:59

    I suggest that all non mods get pitchforks, because meta is where you try to run the mods out of town. Commented Jan 1, 2014 at 6:48

    Building on badp and Kevin's suggestions, non-native moderators should be marked with â—Š, and moderators marked with ♦. All diamonds followed by superscripts listing the number of sites they rule over with an iron fist (e.g. â—Š³). Commented Jan 6, 2014 at 4:33

    All other jokes aside some kind of indication that you're a moderator somewhere (and maybe something on the user card showing the icons of the sites you're a mod on?) does sound like a good idea. Might be a Phase 2 development thing, but I think it makes sense. Commented Jan 10, 2014 at 22:33
