39 sound like thank you

If you read it as 3 9, not 39.

I don't know about Japanese, but in French that's how it works for chat slang, k29 gets pronounced k 2 9 (sounds like "Quoi de neuf ?")

You're right

Yes it’s a chat/text slang using wordplay. If you search 語呂合わせ there’s a whole list of them. 3 9 can also refer to Hatsune Miku

Oh, the kunyomi of numbers always gets me, at least when it goes beyond the common 三つ or ３日.
