    444

    Out of curiosity I looked up “444” and there’s a bunch of links saying it means a guardian angel. Appropriate?

      4 is avoided in Chinese and Japanese. Although contextually its not too far off the mark in this case.

      in JP, 4 sounds like ‘shi’, meaning death. 43 sounds like the word for ‘stillbirth’. (‘shi’ also means particle, or also emoticon) In China, 4 = ‘death’, 14 = ‘must die’, 24 = ‘easy to die’

        Yes, but for reasons I don’t remember at the moment, “444” is considered joyful laughter, not danger. Someone correct me if I’m wrong.

          So we have guardian angel, “death”, and “joyful laughter” associated with 444, that all fits.

      It sounds like what you’re reading is an “angle number.” I’m not sure if that’s what’s referenced above.
