It takes like two seconds to check pronouns on this site, so I’m not so sure it’s only a matter of being brainwormed. Also, I still don’t get the joke, unless you’re like drawing a parallel between NSL and Chinese telegraph code based on some very mistaken assumptions about how sign language works.
Chinese telegraph code (as it’s more properly known) does really exist and in fact works exactly like in the xiaohongshu2 shitpost: each character is assigned a four-digit code. It’s more than a bit cumbersome to use in practice, but it’s still an important piece of history in how Chinese has been adapted for the modern age, I think I maybe learned about Chinese telegraph code from some presentation that also talked about Chinese typewriters (also extremely cumbersome) and the history of Chinese IMEs for computers (much more convenient but also gives you character amnesia).

The characters mean “yellow snow” but I don’t get the joke or why two people now have made references to Morse code.

I still don’t get the relevance, also are you sure those are the right pronouns?

Also, I will read into jokes if I so please.
I’m not going to try to defend a joke that didn’t land, so I’ll just removed my thread to disengage.
