      I know about it, but didn’t recognize the code. So I assumed, they encoded some text to make it harder to read. So I tried decoding it.

      Turns out, if you decode this in UTF-16, it turns into a japanese sentence

      契ȑ璝寣䇘앖噣삈

      Which means (according to DeepL)

      The sound of the wind rustling through the trees

      And now I’m confused, why.

        That’s not Japanese, there’s some Chinese and Korean characters in there too. Turns out if you decode random bytes as UTF chars you will probably get a CJK character lol

      Thanks for the link I never remembered the numbers to know if it was for that or not…course been online long enough to know that’s the code (style) shown in comments. Was a lot of comments at one point.

      My only unsureness of the code is cause I’m old and miss newer stuff so had to check to be sure.
