 * I think I've seen this before, but it's difficult to search for. Does anyone know a way to search for strings like this on Usenet? —Mr. Granger (talk • contribs) 23:53, 15 September 2016 (UTC)
 * This has to be attested. I see this all the time on forums and chats. PseudoSkull (talk) 00:05, 16 September 2016 (UTC)
 * If this helps, I found that single citation by searching for: ASCII boobs. --Daniel Carrero (talk) 00:23, 16 September 2016 (UTC)
 * I see this ASCII boobs in a writing too. I just can't remember what book. --Octahedron80 (talk) 00:27, 16 September 2016 (UTC)


 * Saying "yeah this is definitely a thing" is really unhelpful at RFV. If it's really a thing then cite it. Otherwise don't make this huge page even bigger. yes yes I'm making it bigger by saying this but I will only say it once, across all conversations. Equinox ◑ 00:27, 16 September 2016 (UTC)
 * Fails CFI. All words in all languages not all pictures in all languages. Renard Migrant (talk) 14:43, 16 September 2016 (UTC)
 * I feel all symbols in all languages should also be included here. I'd be in complete support of even programming language terms being treated as Translingual terms, such as elif in Python. PseudoSkull (talk) 23:34, 16 September 2016 (UTC)
 * I was doubtful about this at first, but then I noticed that we have "Category:Translingual emoticons". Provided that "(.)(.)" is attestable, I'm honestly hard pressed to distinguish between it and "ಠ益ಠ" or "o.O". (Of course, we could have a debate about whether any emoticons should be included at all ... :-) ) — SMUconlaw (talk) 12:09, 17 September 2016 (UTC)
 * Symbols are part of language but pictures are not. It's a grey area and I don't deny that, but I'd put this one into the pictures category, not the symbols one. Still I don't plan on RFDing it as it's too far into that grey area. Renard Migrant (talk) 20:35, 17 September 2016 (UTC)


 * RFV failed: only one citation provided. —Granger (talk · contribs) 16:06, 12 April 2017 (UTC)
