    Please respect tables! ┬─┬ノ(ಠ_ಠノ)

This did give a chuckle.

Edit: I'm surprised that PHP accepts these characters (（╯°□°）╯︵┻━┻) as a valid function name. Perhaps there's a way to hack the same into JS (that would be messy).

Not verbatim. But you can do window["（╯°□°）╯︵┻━┻"] = function() { return ... }; window["（╯°□°）╯︵┻━┻"]()

Enclosing it within quotes seems like defeat.

Edit: You can assign the property to be without quotes using a bit of a hack, you just can't call it.

    var o = {}; // Creates a new object
    Object.defineProperty(o, "（╯°□°）╯︵┻━┻", {value : "Please respect tables! ┬─┬ノ(ಠ_ಠノ)"});
    //=> o = {（╯°□°）╯︵┻━┻: "Please respect tables! ┬─┬ノ(ಠ_ಠノ)"}

Trying to call o.（╯°□°）╯︵┻━┻ returns an error though.
