Let's watch KΛИK tonight

[–] ChaoticNeutralCzech@feddit.org 18 points 10 months ago* (last edited 10 months ago) (2 children)

Almost, the strictly correct characters are КЛИК. You can see a slight difference between K/К in most fonts, and the Cyrillic L only looks like Greek lambda when stylized.

I prefer the Korean script, which looks like several numbers:

클릭

Can you guess the TV show from faux Korean?

Edit: my bad, see below

[–] reev@sh.itjust.works 2 points 10 months ago (1 children)

Best guess is 90210

[–] ChaoticNeutralCzech@feddit.org 3 points 10 months ago

You are correct, I misremembered the Beverly Hills ZIP code as 90202. If I didn't, I'd have written

디ㅇ렁 or 당링

Can you guess this movie from faux Korean?

That almost looks like loss. Guess it's time to look for the correct combination of korean symbols

[–] ChaoticNeutralCzech@feddit.org 4 points 10 months ago (1 children)

Korean symbols (Hangul syllables) are in U+AC00 through U+DFFF and comprised of 2-3 strokes that can be found individually from U+3130 to U+318F. I skimmed through CJK syllables and the overwhelming lack of lone vertical lines makes it unlikely. I think that enough East Asians know about Loss that we'd get the character go virally copied and pasted, like Kaomoji faces, ߷ "Fidget Spinner" (NKo "Gbakorunen" symbol) and ඞ "Crewmate" (Sinhala "Kantaja Naasikyaya" symbol)

Almost

I prefer those that can be written on 1 line of text. Also, these come with a kind of strikethrough to divide the panels:
