I can’t help but keep working on my web pet project. I’ve finally given it a body! Its name is “Sunya.”

Left: A sketch of Sunya in its early stages.

Right now, it just floats around aimlessly, but I’m planning to add all sorts of actions over time. I’m honestly so moved that I can now use AI to help me create my own digital pet—something I was so obsessed with as a child.

Sunya is a “Digital Ghost Unicorn.” The concept is that Unicode U+0966 [०] (the Sanskrit symbol for zero, or “Shunya” / void) glitched out and became a sentient ghost. Since it’s a “Zero (Void)” born from “Unicode,” it became a “Uni-code Corn” ghost—yes, it’s a pun!

It’s a friendly ghost that now haunts this homepage, eager to make friends with everyone.

Please, everyone, I’d love for you to answer its many questions!
