Translate

Hello Utillmasm, I came accross this  㘀 in a pice of code I was looking at, I've figured out that it's either 6 or 7, can you tell me which it is assuming that it's chinese, it could be Japanese  :dazzled:

looks like a 6, here (00 36h)   :bg
actually, it looks like a question mark, as i do not have the font loaded
but, i copy/pasted it into a unicode file, then looked at it with a hex editor

 ::)
i have no idea.
maybe you can attachment your file,
i guest it's encoded as one of Windows-936 (simplified chinese) or Windows-950 (tradidional chinese) or Windows-932 (japanese).

Funny, I keep the east asian fonts loaded and can look at anything from Japan, China, Korea etc .... but all I see in the post is a question mark.

Here's what I see

Google won't translate it though.

oh my foo!!!!
that is a SWEAR !!!!!
:P

[UtillMasm]

it's mean a cough sound. just like hahaaaha, hehehehehe, lalalalalalalal sound.

it's a thousand years ago word, now no chinese use it. mybe old man use it.

so, my guess is wrong decode code cause wrong display.

I was going to try it out in my Kanji translator but its an image.

http://unicodelookup.com says: "cjk unified ideographs extension a u+03600"
http://www.fileformat.info/info/unicode/char/search.htm says: "U+3600 is not a legal unicode character"

I can see it OK *cough cough*

Thanks guys, I was asked by a friend to look at this code & going by your answers it probably is a question mark. Anyway I've given up on it & he'll have to sort it out himself  :green2
Sorry if I've wasted anybodys time :(

Sorry if I've wasted anybodys time

It's a puzzle, not a waste of time. Interesting, especially if we can understand UtillMasm better :bg

At least he can access this website  ::)

On kanji, one word mean one mean. So I guess it will be easier to translate ( but typing the database would be an overkill)

[hutch--]

I could not get the character to translate in either Chinese or Japanese so I am inclined to take Utilmasm's view here that it is an archaic symbol not used today. "cough cough".
