I read it as "I'm at a loss for words." right off the bat before I even realized what it was.

Clearly I have ascended to a higher plane of meme-istance

"first and only Kanji".

If English had other logograms, I 🤔 what they'd be?

Technically kanji refers to the Japanese writing system, loss is a logogram, English already has them (see $ and @)

Loss is the new triforce

[–] Zoop@beehaw.org 7 points 1 month ago* (last edited 1 month ago) (3 children)

That's exactly what I was just thinking! Lemmy's formatting doesn't work the same way, so it doesn't work correctly here. I think this is the best I can get it, lol.

Well, no. It wouldn't be the first kanji of English. Kanji is the Japanese pronunciation of 漢字 (hanzi), where 漢 means han/China and 字 means character/letter. Ergo, it makes no sense to call it "the English language's first and only Chinese character."

If you need to use a Japanese word to describe this, then 絵文字 (e mo ji; picture, character/symbol) fits better, but we already have several words for that, like pictogram or pictograph. One could argue that smileys fall into this category as well. So perhaps it's a smiley.
