Explanation
201108151758 — Unicode quote
Status: verified against the archived post.
Transformation:
- Remove whitespace and hex-decode the Reddit body.
- Base64-decode the result as UTF-8.
The output is a Unicode box containing a stylized rendering of a Max Lerner quotation and the A858 identifier. The decoded byte string is 571 bytes and has SHA-256:
b350ca5789606222fa0337acc26faf677a1ddafb733ae00f7be6df1abf3b608d
This is a byte-level verification rather than a normalization of the stylized Unicode into plain quotation text.
