The “Bro visited his friend” meme template. In panel one, a character says “hi GOG any new deals tod-” and another character, labeled with the GOG.com logo, replies with the screenshot of a mail header titled “Slavic adventures 𖥞 ꥟ ϟϟ”. In the second panel, the first character looks at the second one with a worried look on their face.

      @[email protected] commented GOG’s response claiming the symbols just displayed like that on some devices. Like it’s just some bug in how they are rendered, which sounds like bullshit… When you have time, could you please try to copy them from the email and paste to some web unicode explorer or something to be sure it really is that symbol used in the email?

        that is the result for the unicode symbols from the mail topic “Slavic adventure 𖥞 ꥟ ϟϟ”

        U+03DF ϟ GREEK SMALL LETTER KOPPA

        U+1695E 𖥞 BAMUM LETTER PHASE-D MVOP

        U+A95F ꥟ REJANG SECTION MARK

        imo the problematic part is not the existance of each individual symbol in the mail… the problem is the combination of all of em together
