vöötkoode

Vöötkoode, also known as "vowel code" or "vowel shift," is a form of secret communication used by children and young adults. It involves replacing vowels in words with numbers or symbols to create a coded message. The most common vöötkoode uses the following substitutions: A with 4, E with 3, I with 1, O with 0, and U with 2. For example, the word "hello" would be written as "h3ll0." This method is often used in text messages, online forums, and other digital communications to add a playful or secretive element to conversations. Vöötkoode is not a secure form of encryption and should not be used for sensitive information. It is primarily a fun and lighthearted way to communicate, often used to express creativity or to avoid detection by adults. The origin of vöötkoode is unclear, but it has been in use since at least the early 2000s.
