I read it as "I'm at a loss for words." right off the bat before I even realized what it was.

Clearly I have ascended to a higher plane of meme-istance

Congratulations, you are now allergic to grass.

Technically kanji refers to the Japanese writing system, loss is a logogram, English already has them (see $ and @)

My bank won't let me see any $.

which works better?

[–] [email protected] 4 points 4 months ago

If you're trying for kanji like depictions then the first one but you have to work on your strokes. The box should be a single stroke for the top and the right line. But you gave me an idea for an art thingy in gonna create and hang in my apartment

Loss is the new triforce

[–] [email protected] 7 points 4 months ago* (last edited 4 months ago) (1 children)

That's exactly what I was just thinking! Lemmy's formatting doesn't work the same way, so it doesn't work correctly here. I think this is the best I can get it, lol.

"first and only Kanji".

If English had other logograms, I 🤔 what they'd be?

[–] [email protected] 5 points 4 months ago* (last edited 4 months ago)

Aren't emojis pictograms and ideograms but not usually logograms? They're direct depictions of concepts, not usually direct stand-ins for words like logograms are.

Better examples of logograms in English I think are &, $, %, @,+,=, etc. We actually have a bunch we use all the time.

Specifically they said 'Kanji', though, so I think they're talking more about the actual character structure of ~~:.|:;~~.

I can be trusted with this

[–] [email protected] 2 points 4 months ago

If you couldn’t, I’d be at a ~~:.|:;~~ for words

[–] [email protected] 4 points 4 months ago (3 children)

Well, no. It wouldn't be the first kanji of English. Kanji is the Japanese pronunciation of 漢字 (hanzi), where 漢 means han/China and 字 means character/letter. Ergo, it makes no sense to call it "the English language's first and only Chinese character."

If you need to use a Japanese word to describe this, then 絵文字 (e mo ji; picture, character/symbol) fits better, but we already have several words for that, like pictogram or pictograph. One could argue that smileys fall into this category as well. So perhaps it's a smiley.
