‘Look between X and Y letters on your keyboard’: All you need to know about the new trend 

Social media is buzzing with excitement over a new meme that challenges users to “look between x and y on your keyboard.” 

Despite the initial confusion, as there isn’t much between those letters except the letter f, people are intrigued. 

So what’s the story behind this meme, and why is it capturing everyone’s attention?

How the trend took off:

In May 2021, a meme surfaced on 4Chan featuring a character from K-On and a playful instruction to look between ‘t’ and ‘o’ on the keyboard. 

Despite the intentional misspelling, users discovered that the letters ‘y’, ‘u’, and ‘i’ spell out ‘Yui’, a character from an anime about high school girls forming a band. 

This sparked a trend, with user @KeionDaisuki_01 reposting and fueling its popularity. Soon, variations emerged, using different letters to craft hidden messages. The meme craze quickly spread, humorously referencing everything from sports fandoms to movie catchphrases.
