Artist tagging help

Posted under General

The most recent copy of the old kurohime site I can bring up through the wayback machine is from 2005 where we get one of the images you linked and "็ฎก็†ไบบ๏ผšๅ„ๅ‹™๏ผˆKagami๏ผ‰", but that's four and a half years ago so the differing name doesn't necessarily mean anything.

Anyway I'd think they're the same. I think the entry is saying that the one on the right was from about two years ago, the one below about 5 years (which matches up), and that he's going to do her again at Winter Comiket.

He begins all his posts with โ€•โ€•โ€•โ€•ใฏใ€‡ใ‚’ๅฟœๆดใ—ใฆใ„ใพใ™ ("โ€•โ€•โ€•โ€• supports <something>"), so it would appear that he really is using โ€•โ€•โ€•โ€• (four 'horizontal bars', U+2105) as his name.

Well, we can't use โ€•โ€•โ€•โ€• since it's not standard characters and ---- can't be a valid tag. And his pixiv account is a meaningless string of numbers (5293150).

I hate artists sometimes.

If it was supposed to be a full personal name, wouldn't it be ไนๅฐ instead of ๅฐไน, since "Yue" is the surname? (Not that I know any Chinese either, mind you.)

However in this case, it is using a ๅฐ (little), which is pretty much a prefix. In short, it will roughly translate as "Little Yue".
