I checked the character, it is anything but weird. It is a valid character in a language used by millions of people. For those curious: It is a Telugu character; Telugu is one of several widely spoken languages in India.

The real answer is more sinister. Throughout the 19th century, South American slave raids took away as much as half of the native population. By 1877, the Rapanui numbered just 111. Introduced disease, destruction of property and enforced migration by European traders further decimated the natives and lead to increased conflict among those remaining.

>Even in the Bay Area, a Home is still 5-6X annual income of a typical software engineer.

Is this true? I am ignorant of actual prices in Bay Area, but people are always complaining of high housing prices there.
