    I read it as “I’m at a loss for words.” right off the bat before I even realized what it was.

    Clearly I have ascended to a higher plane of meme-istance

    “first and only Kanji”.

    If English had other logograms, I 🤔 what they’d be?

      Aren’t emojis pictograms and ideograms but not usually logograms? They’re direct depictions of concepts, not usually direct stand-ins for words like logograms are.

      Better examples of logograms in English I think are &, $, %, @,+,=, etc. We actually have a bunch we use all the time.

      Specifically they said ‘Kanji’, though, so I think they’re talking more about the actual character structure of :.|:;.

    Well, no. It wouldn’t be the first kanji of English. Kanji is the Japanese pronunciation of 漢字 (hanzi), where 漢 means han/China and 字 means character/letter. Ergo, it makes no sense to call it “the English language’s first and only Chinese character.”

    If you need to use a Japanese word to describe this, then 絵文字 (e mo ji; picture, character/symbol) fits better, but we already have several words for that, like pictogram or pictograph. One could argue that smileys fall into this category as well. So perhaps it’s a smiley.

        Learning random cool stuff like this is part of why I like lemmy, and why I used to like reddit. Please don’t shut down constructive contributions with low effort snark. And before you use your line on me, if I were fun at parties, I would get off lemmy and go to parties.

          There is a difference between “btw etymological this used to mean that but since X we use it in other contexts as well” and “no, you are wrong”. The difference is one is fun at parties, the other is not.

    I wonder, why they mentioned highlight,

    :.|:; and strikethrough works

    • switchboard_pete

      highlight the text and click the strikethrough button
