What Does 786 Mean in a Text?

In a text, the numbers 786 mean "Done eating already." If you were to read these numbers in Chinese, they would sound similar to the Chinese words 吃饱了, which translate as "Done eating already."

Lots of Chinese words sound similar to the Chinese numbers. As a result, sentences can be created using just numbers. Of note, the number "0" (zero), which is used to represent the word "you," does not sound much like the Chinese word for "you," but it is still used so meaningful sentences can be created. These Chinese chat codes have become highly popular, not only in countries where Chinese characters are used but also in countries with different alphabets (e.g., Latin, Arabic, Cyrillic).
