A fun game to play is to see how many characters a name takes: it’s an indication of your importance to the Internet.
In answer to the why Chinese, it seems to me to be easier to read and more compact to display than hexlified bytes.
- dhosek 6y agoMy last name compressed to 3 characters. I tried my wife's last name and it was 3 characters, then I decided to add the accent to it that normally gets dropped in an English-language context and it compressed to 2. Adding first names, I was 4 characters and she was 5 with and without the accent. William Shatner went to 6 characters. Barack Obama went to 2. William Shakespeare also to 2.
