Practically everyone trying to make a right hand turn at the intersection where my apartment is. You have exactly 1.5 miles to get into the right lane, but 90% of drivers wait until they get right to the turn, with 5% getting in the lane well ahead of time and the last 5% turning from the straight lane around the little pedestrian island thing instead of actually using the right hand turn lane.

for anyone else wondering, ℅ is a "care of" sign and is apparently used in writing addresses on envelopes.

How am I today years old and still encountering new typed symbols?

Also, I'm assuming the person you're responding to accidentally used it instead of a percent sign. How the heck did you manage that @Kolanaki@pawb.social lol

yeah they edited the comment to be all three actual % symbols after i replied, it was two ℅ symbols and a final % before.

℅ shows up as a long-press option on my particular android keyboard after the % key, so probably something like that.

I didn't even notice until I got the replies about it. It has to be the weird autocorrect dictionary on FUTO keyboard. I switched to this from Gboard not that long ago, and it wants to do even weirder shit to change what I actually typed even more than Google's. 😵‍💫

Long pressing the percent sign on FUTO doesn't even have the one that ended up in my comment like Gboard does. 🤷‍♂️
