I mean, some people might not require a higher quality copper. Maybe it was simply the customer entering the wrong grade on the ordering form?

I mean those glyphs aren't exactly super hard to get wrong. You want to write 𒈁 but instead write 𒈑.

Was this just a Karen complaining all along?

As a completely neutral third-party in those transactions, I think you're on to something here.

Well, congratulations Lemmy. I've been ground down, I'm done.

I just installed the Cuneiform Unicode characters.

𒋺 𒌋𒑉, 𒀀!

That's probably nowhere near what I was going for (and one character was the closest match to something I saw in an image but I think it's even more wrong than the rest). Intent: "Take off, eh!"
