In that answer the word отладчик is incorrectly displayed on my screen.

enter image description here

Interestingly, in the comments the word is shown correctly (and also in this post).

The wrong letters look like those from the Latin alphabet, but they neither are the Latin equivalent nor do have the same position on a different keyboard layout (as far as I know).

Any ideas?

    I don't see anything wrong with it.

  • Wait, what did you expect lowercase а to look like? A scaled-down uppercase А?

I believe you're just not familiar with Russian cursive.

The word written is дышишь. Here's how it is rendered in cursive:

дышишь

    @Em1: Bwa-ha-ha! Monks in XIV century did. It emerged from grazhdanskoye pis'mo which originated from skopopis' which originated from poluustav.
