"Ohhh, if it isn't 99adbad3-f3c8-4c52-99d8-be692c62b9db again! Man, what a blast last Friday at e128001f-9737-4245-b08b-73bc50db0204's party, right?"

That's impractical. Someone made a base8192 Hangul UUID conversion, only ten characters long.

Telling Siri to pronounce the output there is absolutely wild, I may not speak Korean but can tell it’s outputting unpronounceable nonsense.

I tried using Google translate's voiceover, it seems fine? I don't have an iPhone so I can't compare with Siri. It is obviously a nonsensical string of ten characters, but all hangeul characters should be pronouncible.

99ad and e128 in this case.

I just go by Ad Bad. Yeah I know about the other guy. E7 123 and the other college friends call me Ad Bad 3 and him Ad 88
