What is Leet Speak (1337)?

Leet speak (short for "elite", written as 1337 or l33t) is an internet slang alphabet system that originated in 1980s Bulletin Board Systems (BBS) and early hacker culture.

In leet speak, standard alphabet letters are replaced with visually similar ASCII numerals, symbols, and typographic characters.
