Did you known what are arbitrary characters combination?

This was a question, simply a question on the topic. There are some readers, volunteers that do not known "computing". They just try to help, I was thinking the Skizzerz was one. Sorry, didn't want offend Skizzerz. But he didn't said that he was offended, are you "Skizzerz"?

several thousand variations of the same illegal word.

Man... I could say that with arbitrary combination of characters you don't declare a "word" a "word", its simply millions/billions/etc. of combinations (that is, thousand times bigger than of all dictionaries that you could cite in this thread right now, sorry). '''I'm not telling you to make characters appear a word, as illegal variation, I'm telling you that fuzzy combinations with all available characters in unicode are much, but much more bigger than predefined set of words. And that is what I mean by arbitrary.'''

I can't make it more clear, I'll stop on this thread. Thank you for you comments.
