(Not related to earlier threads. But posting for curiosity value)

Happened to stumble upon this a few minutes ago:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ma_%28negative_space%29

The pronunciation is "Ma" but it's written differently from the original
Ma. It goes something like: 間

It looks to me that the same letter is pronounced differently by
different cultures. A chinese, a korean, a japanese, a vietnamese hacker
looking at a MaGnus shirt may actually read different things.
