Our Plural Codes

Date Last Updated: 10 December 2022    

Our Plural/Multiple Codes – During the 90s, an assortment of “codes” were created. These codes consisted of a series of letters, numbers, and symbols meant to denote various bits of information. Over the 30+ years of the online plural community’s existence, there has been numerous incarnations of “codes” that describe various aspects of a system’s personal plurality in the form of a series of numbers and letters symbolizing various bits of information.    

Below are our plural codes and a breakdown of their meanings.
