The origin of this meme dates back to May 2021, originating from 4Chan, a hub for anonymous sharing of images and ideas. It all began with a post featuring a character from K-On accompanied by the caption “look between t and o on your’e key bored” (yes, deliberately misspelled).
Curiosity piqued, users followed the instruction, only to find the letters y, u, and i, spelling out ‘Yui,’ a character from an anime series portraying high school girls forming a band. Even ‘@KeionDaisuki_01’, a prominent ‘X’ user, couldn’t resist reposting it, igniting the wildfire spread of this trend.
This trend no doubt has a fun way to find answers of the question with a hint already given by the author. However, the trend didn’t stop to be as a meme, but not it has turned out to be a message oriented meme emphgasised with politics.
