Because I thought it would be fun to share: things my heartmarks turn into

[soc_puppet]

...Okay, not just heartmarks. Also symbols like ¦ or foreign letters like ç. But mostly heartmarks, 'cuz that's what I use most often. Anyway, Yahoo!Mail reads 'em weird, and presents 'em as kanji. Here's some of what I've gotten:

ç:
鏰 and 莽

¦:
娄

Heartmarks:
鈾モ櫏鈾 (three hearts)
鈾モ櫏鈾モ櫏鈾 (five hearts)

鏰:
閺

In conclusion: Yahoo!Mail is weird. But also possibly an interesting reason to look up kanji meanings. Unless they're actually Chinese, in which case I'll have to find a different dictionary.

Edit: Bonus: What other people's heartmarks have turned into:
鈾モ櫏鈾
...Which is really more of the same, but I wanted to include it anyway.

Edit 2: Okay, it's sort-of back to normal now. Kanji (and kana, thank you Pat) are now appearing as follows:
モ
鏰
莽
娄
鈾
櫏
é–º

And heartmarks are now (back to):

Which I'm pretty sure is what they used to be. It was interesting while it lasted...

It said I had to install language packs. *shrugs* I've just found the CD, so I'm gonna try it again.
