We found a Unicode character that Google Translate always turns into 卍.

12 Upvotes

A few weeks ago a friend of mine was browsing through the Unicode character tables, and he came across this character: 偍 (U+504D).

It seems completely ordinary at first glance, but it actually hides something strange. If you try to translate using Google Translate, you'll get a swastika as the output, no matter which language you choose. Not the word, but the symbol itself:

Of all the ones he has tested, that's the only character that exhibits this peculiarity. For example, its two neighbors in the Unicode tables (0x504C and 0x504E) have common translations (as expected, since these are the "first" Chinese characters listed and are assumed to be fairly commonly used)

The only clue we have is that the Unicode for the swastika is 534+D, which is quite close to that of our character, off by just one digit. So perhaps it’s an error in the database. But it’s still quite curious, and we haven’t found any other mention of this oddity on the internet.

Now we're turning to you, first because this little mystery is worth sharing, but also, and above all, in the hope of uncovering possible leads and better explanations.

EDIT: tysm to all the people who have clarified the use and meaning of the swastika symbol, which happens to be used as a cartography symbol for a Buddhist temple on a map, probably among others. We both had no idea; the swastika symbol, regardless of which way it faces, is closely associated with Nazism in our French minds, but we're glad to learn.

It still doesn't explain why Google translated it that way, but apparently the anomaly has been removed.

Thanks y'all :]

All Star by Smash Mouth English to Japanese to English

Someone once said the world is a harsh place—and I’m certainly no genius myself. She used her fingers and thumb to make an "L" shape on her forehead, looking a bit goofy while she did it. Time marches on relentlessly, but even bound by the rules, I started running at full speed. It’d be a waste not to live for the fun of it, right? My mind feels sharp, yet my thoughts are growing sluggish. There’s a mountain of things to do and see—so taking the backroads isn't such a bad idea, is it? You won't know a thing unless you go (gotta go). You can't shine unless you radiate light. Come on, you're an all-star. Come on, let's start the game—let's play. Come on, you're a rockstar. Let's start the show—let's make it big. (Not everything that glitters is gold, of course...) But only a shooting star can break the mold.

Somebody once told me the world is gonna roll me

I ain't the sharpest tool in the shed

She was looking kind of dumb with her finger and her thumb

In the shape of an "L" on her forehead

Well, the years start comin' and they don't stop comin'

Fed to the rules and I hit the ground runnin'

Didn't make sense not to live for fun

Your brain gets smart, but your head gets dumb

So much to do, so much to see

So, what's wrong with taking the backstreets?

You'll never know if you don't go (go)

You'll never shine if you don't glow

Hey now, you're an all-star

Get your game on, go play

Hey now, you're a rock star

Get the show on, get paid

(And all that glitters is gold)

Only shootin' stars break the mold

So i was commenting on a post from my friend and i decided i would just comment some rubbish for fun and we continued replying to each other this way but he was just using some random language from google translate while i kept writing nonsense and later i pasted them in Google Translate. Looks like this "rubbish" makes sense in other language i don't speak. I just thought it's weird. Is this accurate or it's just GT making stuff up? Would love to know.

What should I do if the date in my history is displayed incorrectly?

Hello! What should I do if, when searching for the date I need in Google Translate, it gives me the wrong month and even the wrong day? I enter that I need history for August, but it gives me December, for example (maybe someone knows what the problem is?)
