### 5/5 — Just what Ｉ was looking for

*2021-11-06*

Ｉ use it primarily for increasing my typing where there is ａ character limit by using Unicodes like ff ffl fl ffi fi nj ij ѹ Ⅱ ⁇ ⅳ ⅵ Ы ㏌ dz etc, multiple letters one key stroke one Unicode character, longer comments on Tiktok and many other places.
