WTF is this Character?
August 26, 2007
҉
Can anyone enlighten me on its purpose, language of origin? If you paste this character and begin typing, your writing is transformed to right-to-left format. Weird!
҉Point in case.

So, apparently the Mac, (or at least Adium) isn’t affected by this. Can anyone confirm?
August 26th, 2007 at 7:22 pm
That is pretty crazy… i pasted it into my URL box in Firefox and everything started typing backwards…
First time ive seen that one too… How did you even find it?
I might have to link to your post on my blog bc i find this really cool!
August 26th, 2007 at 7:28 pm
it’s not that character. It’s one of the ones you also copy when copying that character (see below).
There are several Unicode characters that control text direction, starting at U+200E. See [wikipedia](http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Unicode_control_characters#Bidirectional_text_control).
you see here.
August 26th, 2007 at 7:28 pm
I just tested it on adium, and it flipped the text. For the record, I’m on OSX 10.4.
August 26th, 2007 at 7:32 pm
maybe it is for writing in certain languages. like the ones that read from right to left rather than left to right. I think the Quran is written in right to left (Arabic I think).
August 26th, 2007 at 7:42 pm
҉P
lol
August 26th, 2007 at 7:42 pm
yeah, but arabic has a completely different alphabet, and when it’s transliterated, it is done left to right.
August 26th, 2007 at 7:47 pm
it’s called right to left override

August 26th, 2007 at 9:07 pm
Wow, even the source code is backwards.
August 26th, 2007 at 9:10 pm
It’s not that character, it’s the huge amount of control characters you also put in.
>>> unicode (file)
u’\u202b\u202c\u202d\u202e\u202a\u202b\u202c\u202d\u202e\u0489Point in case.’
The actual character is this:
>>> print u’\u0489′

I think its not the character itself, its the hidden character to the left of it above …
August 26th, 2007 at 9:47 pm
҉ Character is normal
҉ This includes the hidden character …
August 26th, 2007 at 9:53 pm
As noted about, the backwards type comes from the other characters, not from the circle of commas. The circle of commas (҉) is the Unicode character U+0489 COMBINING CYRILLIC MILLIONS SIGN. It actually is supposed to combine with the character before it, surrounding it with them crazy commas. It is a historic character that isn’t much in current use. See http://unicode.org/charts/PDF/U0400.pdf

҉Yea, it does it on the mac too. This is sweet!
August 26th, 2007 at 11:53 pm
The character is right-to-left-override, as was mentioned previously (not right-to-left-embedding). Right to left embedding (\u202B) will make the line direction right to left but leave the character direction alone– generally you’ll see the effect on punctuation at the end of the sentence. Right to left override (\u202E) forces each character to be treated as though it were right-to-left and makes them follow each other in right-to-left order.

Right to left is so last year. If you must, though, try deleting the Cyrillic chatacter after you begin typing–if confused, you can do this be placing the cursor to the left of it and hitting Backspace–and thus making it less apparent what you did.

Here’s something interesting…
When I tried to enter the character as a screen-name for yahoo, it said that something was wrong with it, but instead of showing the character it showed a string of numbers;
82358236823782388234823582368237
It also does it here if you try to past it in the middle of a paragraph, like so 82358236823782388234823582368237.

It’s a special character for people who like backmasking. You type the lyrics of a song with
that symbol and you know if there are any satanic messages in it.
August 28th, 2007 at 12:08 pm
[...] Nun ist Rückwärtschreiben ja keine Kunst. Rückwärtsschreiben während man vorwärts eintippt hingegen schon. Möglich macht das ein Unicode-Zeichen (U+202E), das soganannte Right-to-Left Override. Benötigt wird es offenbar für die Arabische Sprache. Zum Nachmachen einfach das Symbol ganz rechts (Kreis aus Kommas) kopieren, einfügen und lostippen. Durch Löschen wird der Override aufgehoben. Eigentlich ist nicht das Symbol dafür verantwortlich, sondern ein Steuerzeichen, das sich angeblich davor verbirgt. Mehr Infos gibt es bei Tip’o the day. [...]

To all the people leaving posts chock full of palindromes, your humor is dry. It was slightly funny when the first guy posted racecar and successfully less funny with each post. Hahahaha a palindrome didn’t work, end of story. But technically in fact it did work. So does this make you moronic for not realizing it did in fact work, or are you retarded for attempting to use a palindrome as a joke? By the way “racecar” is actually TWO words thus eliminating it as a palindrome.
