It reminds me a fun fact, which I noticed when writing a TTF font parser https://github.com/photopea/Typr.js

TTF files have a 4-byte field, where the font manufacturer can put "information about himself" (like the identification). The Adobe company puts an ASCII string "ADBE" into these four bytes.

There is another field for the font manufacturer, which has only two bytes. Guess what Adobe puts into these two bytes? 0xadbe :D

that 4 byte field really should have been 0xAD0BEAD0BE
