I remembered that there are some NSFW cases (crazy NSFW emoticons/ASCII arts) where bopomofo and Japanese hiragana/katakana are combined: https://github.com/miusuke/kaomoji/blob/9b358432c67eaf5e81360af2bf726c78243ae053/kaomoji.txt#L1268-L1274 https://megalodon.jp/2014-0520-0257-05/matome.naver.jp/odai/2136505429300763801/2137787615322033803 | replaced bopomofo | original hiragana/katakana | | --- | --- | | ㄘ | ち | | ㄟ | へ | | ㄋ | ろ | | ㄜ | さ | | ㄝ | せ | | ㄨ | メ | These bopomofo characters were primarily used to replace certain characters in NSFW Japanese words used these ASCII arts to circumvent censorship. In my recollection, they became popular (to some extent) in Twitter during the early–mid 2010s in Japan. Japanese Twitter users see bopomofo and immediately recall these ASCII arts. -- GitHub Notification of comment by tats-u Please view or discuss this issue at https://github.com/w3c/csswg-drafts/issues/9980#issuecomment-4340506645 using your GitHub account -- Sent via github-notify-ml as configured in https://github.com/w3c/github-notify-ml-config
