1) FWIW, asking GPT5 in french gives you the correct answer
"Non — il n’existe pas d’emoji spécifique pour les hippocampes."
“No — there is no specific emoji for seahorses.”
2) Then I asked the question in english, and ... it ended by saying "No — there is no official seahorse emoji in the Unicode standard." and referring to this phenomenon as the "Mandela effect".
3) I asked why it was clear in french, but not in english. It made a 3 minutes CoT and went on for some excuses.

- pmarreck 1y agowow, I took 4 years of French years ago and TIL that "hippocampus" is named after the French word for seahorse, probably due to its shape
- Bengalilol 1y agoIt actually comes from ancient Greek hippokámpē or hippókampos. híppos = horse kámpos = "kind of fish" (some say "sea monster") And this is directly linked to https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Campe https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Campe
- pmarreck 1y agoAh, thanks for the clarification!
