On Icons On FA

Very quietly, FA has introduced some new syntax to refer to users.
Make a link: @askmeaboutloom => askmeaboutloom
Link with icon: @@k-puz =>
k-puz
The old syntax still works too, luckily.
Make a link: :linkpichu90: => pichu90 (pretty sure this was undocumented)
Link with icon: :iconmiles57: =>
miles57
Just an icon: :dessyicon: =>
There is also supposed to be a limit of 12 icons per text field, but that's not how it's implemented.
Instead, you have 12 icons using the :iconuser: syntax and another 12 using the :usericon: syntax.
Now they repeated thisbug feature with the new syntax, so you now get another 12 icons using the @@user syntax for a total of 36 icons.
This limit also applies to links without icons, but nobody knows or cares about those.
Q: How did you escape FA's parser and make :iconuser: show up literally?
A: Magic. And I also put a zero-width space between the user name and the : or @ respectively.

But it's still pretty quick for me, since I don't know how to insert zero-width spaces...
