What does this mean?

Featured Replies

I'm probably the only one who doesn't know it, but what does the symbol at the end of this line means. ?

I first thought it was a smiley, but when I took out my magnifying glass, the only thing I could see was OIF44D.

Makes no sense to me in any way, but it keeps coming up in posts frequently.

Anyone can explain to me?

It's obvious that it isn't used to track posters with useless comments and poor attempts at humor, because your post wouldn't be here. smile.png

Well what is it then Mr smarty pants ? haven't seen any theories from your good self, and as another poster mentioned its on FB posts as well, and everyone knows Facebook is a front for a CIA tracking project...

Mark Zuckerberg my arse, a snotty little git, do you really think he had the brains to come up with FB, he is just a front for the CIA and now the Thai military /Government is using the technology to track troublesome farangs making demands and being derogatory about Thailand....

Anthony5. Be afraid, be very afraid:post-218648-0-53565400-1434276643_thumb.

All I see is some kind of small 'thumbs up' icon, maybe it's something to do with the browser you have installed.

Did you notice there was a question mark in the thread title, which was started by me?

In case you think it is restricted to facebook, take a look here

http://www.thaivisa.com/forum/topic/832472-%EF%80%8D-is-deutsche-bank-the-next-lehman/

and here

http://www.thaivisa.com/forum/topic/832673-making-friends-in-thai-village/?p=9513221

And there are plenty of other example on this forum.

Exactly do stay with the plot,

Facebook - yes = CIA

TV posts -yes (same technology) = Thai government/immigration

I think Anthony is a marked man...sad.png

So according to you Midas and Matty64, just to name a few, are CIA spies because the script is posted by them and not by Thaivisa.

They will be happy to hear your accusations.

Ex?

I thought they were all ex. Seals or SAS.

they were all ex Seals/SAS but went onto work for the "firm" as "contractors" when they retired from the SF's...thumbsup.gif

hush hush, wink wink, say no more...gigglem.gif

I must say the last time I was in Pattaya, didn't realise there were so many farangs named Andy MacNab...in the bars I visited

You misheard...they are all called Andy McBartab.

Well it is appearing frequently in posts on this forum as well.

it usually means your computer is missing some (foreign) fonts.

One "possibility" is that you are viewing them on a pc running windows, whereas they are viewed normally and appear as they should on an android device.

I can see clear full color icons via the tablet.(android) whereas only black sillouette type images via windows 8.1

So 01F44D is a unicode character for the thumbs up sign

http://www.fileformat.info/info/unicode/char/1F44D/index.htm

Shows up ok on Windows 7 Pro ?

Browset test page : http://www.fileformat.info/info/unicode/char/1F44D/browsertest.htm

Also win 7 home premium - so not sure why not in 8.1?

If I was the OP I would have posted it in forum support but then Soutpeel would have missed out on some of his fix..............biggrin.png

Well I'm on Windows 7 Ulimate X64 and I can't see them, and actually I don't think I miss anything.

The reason I didn't post in forum support is because I don't think it's forum software related.

Not necessesary missing something, just an encoding problem in the browser.

You state that you have seen this symbol in many posts on TV.

I can not remember to have seen this here before.

I have an Android smartphone and sometimes see Chinese characters on German language websites.

Likely they should show up as some symbol.

I have no ambitions to find the root cause tongue.png

I looked at the source code of the opening post.

The symbol is represented by "?" which is equivalent to hex code:"?" (as already written).

http://www.codetable.net/decimal/128077

It IS a thumbs up (solid black).

So I don't see the problem (except that I don't see this frequently in TV).

Not true, but very funny Mr Peel....if their tracker worked, there would only be me and you left on TVF...everyone else would have been 'spirited away'. Just be nice and i think we'll be ok...lol
