It's double V in Swedish, but a lot of people, me included just say V. Whenever I need to type in some sort of randomly generated code I think repeat it in my head to remember it, and it's kinda funny how I remember a code like "uvwvx" by repeating "uvvvx" in my head.

Because V was originally U ;-)

I know you were being spammy with the 'W's, but thought you might be interested to know that there is literally a list of the widest unicode characters:

interesting link.. i tried googling some of them to find out what they mean. if you google the one all the way at the bottom - the highest zalgo character ( ̺̺̺̺̺̺̺̺̺̺̺̺̺̺̺̺̺̺̺̺̺̺̺̺̺̺̺̺̺̺̺̺̺̺̺̺̺̺̺̺̺̺̺̺̺̺̺̺̺̺̺̺̺̺̺̺̺̺̺̺̺̺̺̺̺̺̺̺̺ͩͩͩͩͩͩͩͩͩͩͩͩͩͩͩͩͩͩͩͩͩͩͩͩͩͩͩͩͩͩͩͩͩͩͩͩͩͩͩͩͩͩͩͩͩͩͩͩͩ, in spoiler so it doesn't stretch over other comments) - google says it's too long of a word and won't return any results. i've never seen that one before.

Zalgo text is different in the sense that it is not a single character but rather a sequence of characters that extend upwards / downwards / whatever (See Combining characters ) as opposed to rightwards / leftwards like normal characters
So that character you got there is actually ~120 characters long which would explain the google search result. You can check the length by opening your browser console, wrapping the zalgo character with quotation marks and then adding '.length' at the end to see how long it is e.g. "{zalgo}".length

oh wow thanks for that. i've been aware of the zalgo meme for years but i never really looked up why it existed in the first place. now it makes sense, but i still gotta wonder why the character limit is so high.
ps. you were always my favorite, jason.

Why is eight both a number and a letter?

Letter V was in Latin-based language, so French, Spanish use Double V.
English has a different origin and it was written as Double U before the letter V became part of English.

It's not a double 'U' in German so I've asked myself this as well when I learned the English alphabet XD or how 'E' is pronounced how we pronounce 'I'. Languages are fun :D

In Spain it is called "uve doble" literally "V Double"
