Lettered

Post by gfoot »

Hmm, I spent ages thinking it said "sour coffee", then "your coffee"... the first character is a bit hard to figure out.

I was helped because I'm poor at English. I didn't ever think of those possible words like "sour" and "your" before reading your post.

Its name is "weierp" so I guessed it as a kind of "p".

Heh, it's only a few letters away from "weird P". :)

at first i tried just submitting the decoded string and it failed, tried with urlencoding because i thought it was firefox unable to submit these special chars. then i just looked at it and it was clear: pourcoffee :)

And I mistook the theta for a H.. had to increase text size several times before getting the clue ;)

Almost the same with me, although I didn't try urlencoding but looked for characters with the same appearance but the wrong unicode number.

browser solves it for me

after decoding the characters I put the result in a minimal html page.

Code: Select all

<!DOCTYPE html>
<html>
<head>
    <title></title>
</head>
<body>
<p>℘ÕÙℜ©Θƒƒ∈∈</p>
</body>
</html>
Then the browser showed me the decoded html entities.
