The Freak


In one moonless night in J World, a mama J was giving birth. Papa J was waiting anxiously outside the door, waiting for a new baby j to be born.
But when the doctor came out of the delivery room, he had a frown on his face. Papa J ran to the doctor and asked if everything is ok.
"Congratulations, you're a father. But...  I'm sorry. Your son is not normal " The doctor said
"What?.. What do you mean doctor?"
"He was born without the dot!"

Silence filled the room and Papa J felt devastated. His baby 'j' was born without the dot. He was not normal and has to face this fact for the rest of his life.

Years went by and baby j went to school and college. And as he grew up, he became a capital J with no dash.



All his life he's been laughed at and treated as an outcast. But this kid never cared. He never listened to anyone trying to frustrate him. He always thought of himself as unique. He had the most cheerful character.

Every time people tried to forbid him from engaging in conversations, letters, and emails, he didn't care. He tried again and again.
Until he was noticed. People, as well, saw him as unique. They started using him in their writings. 
After all, it is easier and faster to skip the dot. Isn't it?

Now there are fonts made with Js with no dots or dashes. 

This J changed the world.
He had a will, and that's much more important than a mere dot!
