 The codes in the title text refer to "A �" and "! �" respectively. The text provides a way to keep the "bug" active, (which can be realized through the use of a Cydia tweak) even after it is patched. This is a fairly silly concept, as not many people would need to type "A �" more than they would need to type "i".{{Citation needed}}
 The statement in the title text "no update can never take this away from you" is a {{w|Double negative|double negative}}, so it actually means "any update can take this away from you". This may be a typo.
