I think it's time to develop a formal symbology for logical and argumentative fallacies. That way, when I explain to somebody that they're under delusions of a straw man fallacy, I can just write: &0x3020;

Then an overly complicated cascade of broken Unicode symbols can follow.

I'm glad that there is at least one person that finds this idea intriguing. My only problem is finding arbitrary Unicode symbols to abuse for this purpose, as well as a complete list of logical and argumentative fallacies.

You could abuse Chinese characters that have a vaguely related meaning?

Allow me to assist
I think this is a complete list.

I don't know Unicode well enough to recommend any symbols, though. I do, however, like the idea.
