Missingno speaks (turning a sprite into text)

[M.E.R.255]

I once spend a couple of weeks trying to find a way to do more with Missingno than just talk about how to get it and what its type is. So I decided "Hey! What if I turned the pixels into binary and that into hexadecimal entity numbers?" So I did! =D

Here's a longer, better explanation in a neat image format on how I wanted to accomplish that ^^

Missingno as UTF-16 characters with more info in what the characters are:

Missingno as UTF-16 without info:

Fonts I used to display most of these characters
Arial Unicode MS
Halfwidth Hangul letters, Arabic Literature, Ghurmukhi letters

Code2000
misc. stuff

MingLiU
Ideographs, Halfwidth Katakana letters

MingLiU_HKSCS
Private Use Area character

Microsoft Yi Baiti
Yi syllables

Tai Heritage Pro
Tai Viet letters

Adobe Myungjo Std
Hangul syllables

Malgun Gothic
Hangul Jongseong

Segoe UI Symbol
Braille Pattern

Ebrima
Vai syllables

These websites helped me find the correct characters for the hexidecimal UTF-16 entity numbers

Hardly anyone on deviantART, maybe 3 people, cared about that stuff, so hopefully you guys might find this more interesting. ^^

I still love how we basically "translated" Missingno into symbols and characters through a set of binary numbers based off color. =P And how we even somehow managed to make a sentence out of this thing! XDDD I know there's other glitch Pokemon as well (especially gen 1), so perhaps that could be something we could explore in the future? ^-^ If other people get interested as well, that is.

Hmm... seeing the lack of people caring about this, I doubt I'll ever do something like this again. .#. Guess it's not that interesting. *sweat*
