Chat is a text only community for casual conversation, please keep shitposting to the absolute minimum. This is intended to be a separate space from c/chapotraphouse or the daily megathread. Chat does this by being a long-form community where topics will remain from day to day unlike the megathread, and it is distinct from c/chapotraphouse in that we ask you to engage in this community in a genuine way. Please keep shitposting, bits, and irony to a minimum.

As with all communities posts need to abide by the code of conduct, additionally moderators will remove any posts or comments deemed to be inappropriate.

Thank you and happy chatting!

Like this symbol was largely obsolete except as an honorific title for "Habibi Che" and no-one else. I was using the symbol after the title of Love, Chunibyo & Other Delusions, though, which may or may not have been a faux pas.

When I found out about this "habibi" symbol, I remarked on how it looked more like a Chinese character than Arabic writing. Supposedly that was "because of the Silk Road", i.e. that this glyph came to Arabic from Chinese.
