I have been working on a code for a long time. I wanted to share an interesting find, so that I could correlate with fluent Japanese speakers
The cipher text is
AEN⌖🎱K🎱M🎱λNAM
If you imagine the characters on a ring and start at the first M
You get
M🎱λNAMAEN⌖🎱K🎱
This is similar to
MAI NAMAE(N) WA KA – Which I know of as an informal way to say “My name is?” Just like the cipher opening line. I found that to be quite the “coincidence.”
Also the code was pretensed on “Any code made by man, can be cracked by MAN” and the keyword was “otoko.” What a play on words.
Lastly here is a link to my solution. https://www.reddit.com/r/ZodiacKillerCodes/comments/121qf99/backwards_split_alphabet_code_japanese_mai_namaen/
The Zodiac killer was known for spelling errors and quoting “The Mikado”, in his letters. Just for some background.
Any feedback would be appreciated.

“namae” (名前) is “name” in Japanese, however that sentence makes no sense in Japanese. But good luck with whatever you’re trying to prove.
