Lol for real 😂 My mistake yesterday was thinking it needed to be translated from another language. I looked up several of the characters and found they were from Tai Viet Script but nothing would translate it. This morning it hit me that any symbol could be substituted for English letters so I started down that path and then I saw your “abcde” clue which confirmed and made that step much quicker. So much fun. Excellent puzzle 💜🫡
