    I am testing a website and need to understand what this says.
    The text in incorporated into an image so I cannot use google translate for this bit.

    Hi, can I also ask for a translation of an image? I also suspect this might just be gibberish and not actual text- that's part of what I'd like to know.

    It's random characters and the triangles don't mean anything.

    If I was to guess, maybe someone typed something in a different keyboard layout.

    Thanks. It's actually from a piece of software I am evaluating, and the fact that is it is in fact gibberish is a good thing- it outputs seemingly random data, but for whatever reason they have formatted the output using some type of proprietary binary->Hangul system instead of something like base64. Like you say, I suspected the triangles didn't mean anything, I couldn't find any reference to any Hangul character like them.

    It's probably not intentionally writing Hangul. It is more likely there is being picked up incorrectly in unicode.

    Yeah, I would think that, but I can't say for sure. The product is this by the way. http://www.vaultive.com/solution/vaultive-for-box-enterprise/. There does seem to be some pattern to the text(all the encrypted text starts with the same two characters and ends with the same one). I can only assume it's intentional, perhaps they are assigning some meaning to each of the 'radicals'(I don't know what you call the atomic units that make up each composite Hangul character) and encoding their information this way to obscure their encrypted text somewhat. They are doing the same thing with other products, like this(which I assume is also gibberish?).
