minus-squareilovededyoupiggy@sh.itjust.workslinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up32arrow-down2·8 months agoSo Donald Trump has been signing his name in Russian this whole time? It all makes sense now!
minus-squaremegane-kun@lemm.eelinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up8·8 months agoI remember coming across a similar comment chain, and someone brought out cursive Hanzi, and everyone lost their minds.
minus-squarefeedum_sneedson@lemmy.worldlinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up2·8 months agoI am going to show this to my Chinese teacher to see if it’s in any way legible. Because honestly, I can’t see that being readable by anybody.
minus-squareTimewornTraveler@lemm.eelinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up5arrow-down1·8 months agothis feels like a shitpost and i wont fully believe it until - i dunno when.
minus-squareSuccessful_Try543@feddit.delinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up8·8 months agoNo, that’s true. However, putting lines under e.g. the ш makes it a bit more readable.
minus-square🇦🇺𝕄𝕦𝕟𝕥𝕖𝕕𝕔𝕣𝕠𝕔𝕕𝕚𝕝𝕖@lemm.eelinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up2·8 months agoCan ia solve this problem?
minus-squareShareni@programming.devlinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up8·8 months agoCyrilic cursive uses dashes in the same way Latin uses dots. Try writing "minimum’ without them, and you’ll get the same results.
minus-squarepythonoob@programming.devlinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up3·8 months agoThis is the first I’m hearing about dashes. What do you mean?
minus-squareShareni@programming.devlinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up6·8 months agoYou know how и and п have the same shape, but п has a dash on top? You can put the dash on the bottom to easily differentiate и and ш from м and л.
Try Cyrillic cursive.
