Comment on Digg’s open beta shuts down after just two months, blaming AI bot spam

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.
