Title

Backwards two-story lowercase italic g

Font

NotoSansJP, 400 (normal) Italic is added with the in-app _*_ markdown

Where the font came from, and when

Site: www.slack.com (within a workspace) Date: 2017-05-30

OS name and version

MacOS High Sierra Version 10.13.4 (17E199)

Application name and version

Saw it first in the slack app, went to the online channel and it was reproduced

Issue

When adding the italic _*_ markdown wrapper around text in Slack (app and online), the lowercase, two-story g is backwards. You know, like all those "can you believe no one knows what a two-story g looks like" stories that's been everywhere...

Here's the HTML from the line:

<i data-stringify-prefix="_" data-stringify-suffix="_" data-stringify-requires-siblings="true">being</i>

Here's the screenshot:

That is Lato, not Noto, and that style is intentional.

huh. Never seen that before. Ok, I was wrong!

CSS call:body{font-family:NotoSansJP,Slack-Lato,appleLogo,sans-serif;}, which made me think it was Noto, but I must be missing the part where it's applying Lato...

Thanks for the quick reply.
