The コロナ in 君

[Bokusenou]

So, I randomly found this on reddit.

I never noticed before that the strokes of the kanji for 君 spell out コロナ. I wonder if there’s a list of these types of kanji which have strokes that spell out words. I know くノー (female ninja) is made up of the strokes for 女/woman, but I hadn’t heard of something else like that until now.

Please see §K of L2/20-059 for related characters.

To summarize what it’s about, there are characters encoded alongside the 漢字 (meaning, in the blocks for CJK ideographs) that are partially composed of katakana. I think U+2B742 𫝂 and U+2B9AB 𫦫 are the most interesting ones.

I wonder if the makers of Corona Beer will change the name.
