So Donald Trump has been signing his name in Russian this whole time? It all makes sense now!

I remember coming across a similar comment chain, and someone brought out cursive Hanzi, and everyone lost their minds.

I 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.

this feels like a shitpost and i wont fully believe it until - i dunno when.

No, that's true. However, putting lines under e.g. the ัˆ makes it a bit more readable.

Cyrilic cursive uses dashes in the same way Latin uses dots. Try writing "minimum' without them, and you'll get the same results.

This is the first I'm hearing about dashes. What do you mean?

[โ€“] Shareni@programming.dev 6 points 7 months ago

You know how ะธ and ะฟ have the same shape, but ะฟ has a dash on top? You can put the dash on the bottom to easily differentiate ะธ and ัˆ from ะผ and ะป.
