A comment on Mojibake.
锟斤拷 (which doesn't mean anything) is the result of interpreting UTF-8's replacement character [1] in GBK.
烫 (hot, scorching) is interpreting 0xcc in GBK. In debug mode, Visual Studio will initialize unused memory with 0xcc.
The inside joke is: 手持两把锟斤拷，口中疾呼烫烫烫 Holding two 锟斤拷 in hands and screaming "hot hot hot"
