Sorry about the mojibake, looks as though the transfer from YouTube’s RSS feed to topic header is not entirely UTF-8-clean.
Interesting to see this as a borrowed term.

Heh, yes, it’s apparently quite standard in English: Mojibake - Wikipedia
Now I wonder if it’s pronounced as in Japanese, unlike emoji, which changed significantly in English.
I didn’t know the term previously but it immediately made sense even before I clicked on the Wikipedia link.
This morning my first thought was we had another Spam-wave after I saw the garbled titles…
