We have counted in numbers, we have counted using letters, and in binary. But how about Unicode?
So basically, the first person writes & #0
;, the next person writes & #1
;, and so on. Note that we are using decimal, not hexadecimal.
So I’ll start: �
(PS it will take to about 64 to reach the first letter of the English alphabet.)

Is it supposed to come up as a diamond with a question mark? I’m assuming this is just my laptop, but is it only me who sees that?

Yes, it’s supposed to look like that. It’s a so-called non-printing character; to display it, some replacement like a question mark diamond or a box with a hex number in it is used.
Here’s a list of all Unicode characters: https://unicode-table.com/en/
. As you can see, the first 32 of them are non-printing.

& #3
;, because I’m counting @Freyrr
’s comment as & #2
;, and asking them to edit it to include the character and not just the question.

The next character should be a displayable ASCII character.

Back to undisplayable characters. 9 and 10 were zero-width control characters. The next one also appears to be a control character.
