The internet coinage movement: Jiong, Ben, Mei, Shen, Yi

The Internet is really a magical star factory. After the character "冏" became popular and gradually evolved into a kind of culture, "烎" has become a new emerging internet buzzword. "烎", pronounced "yin", originally meant "light". However, netizens have endowed it with the meaning of an indomitable spirit full of fighting spirit. The popularity of this character originated from a gaming team named 烎 (friends who are interested can look it up). So if one day you see a sentence like "烎 you is like crushing an ant," please don't act too out-of-date, hehe.

Nowadays, obscure and strange Chinese characters such as 囧, 犇, 槑, and 烎 have been used by the new generation of netizens because their shapes can convey emotions and meanings very well. This has led to a new generation of internet language following emoticons (popular among post-80s) and Martian language (popular among post-90s). The Internet is also undergoing a new round of word creation movement. None of us know what the next internet-created character will be. Here, I might as well recommend another obscure character: "燚", pronounced "yi", which originally meant "the god of human fire origin." We can use it to describe something that is extremely popular. For example, "Zhuaxia is really 燚," which could rival 犇 (ben), hehe.
