Comment on Where did the abbreviation "w/" for "with" come from?
Dark_Arc@social.packetloss.gg 8 months agoif you’ve ever wondered (or not wondered) why some Christian symbolism uses a fish, ἸΧΘΥΣ (or ICTHYS) is an acronym for Ἰησοῦς Χρῑστός Θεοῦ Υἱός Σωτήρ
And that presumably is drawn as a fish in some language?

“ἰχθύς” is the ancient greek word for “fish” en.wiktionary.org/wiki/ΙΧΘΥΣ

Oh… I see, so it’s the word for fish.
It would be like if we had an acronym F.I.S.H. and some people got cute and drew a 🐟 instead of writing F.I.S.H.
