        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

            OK, yes, that obviously makes sense, considering the amount of these Charakters.

        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.

      Its good that you have enough self-control to hand over your keys when you’ve had too much to drink.
