IS_A_COUPLE ^🫲^🥴~🫱~

Basically that's the same thing. In PHP 'is couple' is done almost for the compatibility reasons, as nothing blocks one to change the name dictionary. Defining same forename as male and female (so two lines) means couple. Using '?' means it being unisex. The terms how they're meant - couple is a name common to both male and female, unisex could be for example a female name given to male person. With the default dataset you can simply join that two cases in the switch. For the database format just look into data/nam_dict.txt in the package.

Error from Zelda 2? VINDICATED.

Ah, so it's an extension that tries to determine gender of a first name by country locale. Seems like a fool's errand -- especially in PHP -- but I guess the weird constants make sense in that context.
