Feeling or being out of context is a situation that no one wants to go through, yet it happens. This feeling is common especially on social media, where codes change drastically and incessantly.
If you are a regular Instagram user, you may have noticed in the last few days that some accounts of friends, family, or acquaintances are using some alphanumeric codes that seem out of context and meaningless.
Although many people have joined the trend, not all of them know what they mean, which has generated confusion among netizens.
Thus, we explain everything you need to know in order to join this trend.
What does o22 mean in the world of Instagram?
The numerical codes actually hide a tender and quite playful message, since each of the combinations means a letter of the alphabet, such as o22, as this means "A".
And although it may not seem to make sense, Instagram users use it as a clue to make known the initial of the person they like without further details about it, so it opens the incognito of who it is.
Mostly used on Instagram, but also popular on TikTok
For their part, people who have a partner write the combinations as a way of indicating that they are mindful of their special someone, so it's also a tender way to join the trend.
If you want to join in, below, we leave you all the codes for each of the letters of the alphabet, as this situation became so popular that even the official Instagram account published what each of them means:
o22 = A
o76 = B
o99 = C
o12 = D
o43 = E
o98 = F
o24 = G
o34 = H

o56 = R
o23 = S
o65 = T
o41 = U
o74 = V

This trend appears mainly in descriptions of content that is uploaded and also in comments on posts, being a unique way of communicating.
Despite its growth around the world, it is not clear where it emerged from, although it is not the first time something like this has happened either.
Some time ago on Instagram the use of 7642 went viral as a way to hide a message, in that case the code meant: "I'll always be there for you".
