I'd say I've heard it, and might say it [ˈjud(ə)nə], but it would be very unusual to write it.

![The character was proposed for inclusion into Unicode in 2007[8] and incorporated as character U+A66E in Unicode version 5.1 (2008).[9] The representative glyph had seven eyes and sat on the baseline. However, in 2021, following a tweet highlighting the character,[10] it came to linguist Michael Everson's attention that the character in the 1429 manuscript was actually made up of ten eyes. After a 2022 proposal to change the character to reflect this, it was updated later that year for Unicode 15.0 to have ten eyes and to extend below the baseline.[11][12] However, not all fonts support the ten-eyed variant as of May 2025.](https://cdn.bsky.app/img/feed_thumbnail/plain/did:plc:pyzlzqt6b2nyrha7smfry6rv/bafkreidmg5pf525b5ec7r6yyanvdhumi4mkfdvmxtrgvf4bythbmgreg7q@jpeg)

I’m sure by now that I did not parse your “🧐🧐” correctly. (Nor do I know that your watermelon 🍉 emoji is intended to mean. I guessed it was an American usage. I could well be wrong.) I was just sharing information which (in my own ignorance) seemed uncommon and interesting. 2/2

Erm, no, I was riffing off the Taco Bell thread out of amusement and I did not go to visit or study your profile in order to reply to this thread. Nor did I know how “most famous” The Paris Review was since I’ve only heard of it adjacent to my work in Ursula’s textual history. 1/
