Kosciuszko Posted June 17, 2011 Share Posted June 17, 2011 Is it something like 終?Because, if so, that's what certain characters look like that your computer isn't set up to understand. Like my above posted is a Japanese character (I think, just took this from something on another site that deals with manga/anime). I believe you have some settings, etc, that you can turn on to actually see the proper character, but I'm not sure where to find them. I know I see them by default on my laptop.

All I know is that I see people tweeting strange little boxes with pairs of letters and numbers on top of each other and it gets me all nervous, like when my sister-in-law and brother start speaking in Korean around me. *paranoid* Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

WillWork4NinjaPowers Posted June 17, 2011 Author Share Posted June 17, 2011 Ok, well now I feel really dumb because E1 and F2 make no sense together. I need a Cracker Jack box and new decoder ring, stat. What's worse is that I am pretty sure the majority of the people I see posting these little code things may not even know how to spell their own last names. I assumed that they had something to do with drugs, money or humping. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kosciuszko Posted June 17, 2011 Share Posted June 17, 2011 Nope. They're just symbols your computer isn't properly showing, 99% sure. I see them all the time on one computer, never on the other, and in the exact same places. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Knew it.Not necessarily. Are the people tweeting these things the sister-in-law and brother that occasionally speak Korean around you? That could very easily explain it.I doubt they know that they know you can't see the proper symbol. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
