Well it took **THIRTY GODDAMN MINUTES** but I finally decoded that symbol on Rey's jacket that is absolutely not Aurebesh.

Strap in, this is a fuckin' journey. #StarWars #TheRiseOfSkywalker https://twitter.com/laceygilleran/status/1200249384807665664
So you would think the symbol on Rey's jacket is Aurebesh, the standard written language of #StarWars because the numeral is **DEFINITELY** from Aurebesh, but if you look at the Rosetta Stone, you WILL NOT FIND THE TOP SYMBOL. 🙃 #TheRiseOfSkywalker
But I knew I had seen it and I have nothing better to do, so I kept Googling.
"Rebel Symbols" ...nope
"Huttese" ...nope
"Insignia" ...nope
"Inscription" ...BINGO

I got Enfys Nest's helmet. There you are, you fucker. #StarWars
Okay, so what the hell does it say though? Luckily, the #StarWars SOLO Visual Dictionary had the answer. It's a poem.

We have a language and something in English to reverse translate it from. Now we're cooking with gas!
But I hit a problem. The letters weren't lining up.

MOTHERHUGGER.

Then I realized the image was just backwards, found another one where it wasn't flipped, and made this.

Long story short, it's an "O" in Ancient Aurabesh, also known as Dishabesh

#StarWars #TheRiseOfSkywalker
Anyway, @StarWars hasn't put out a Rosetta Stone for Dishabesh yet but I can probably make most of one at this point.

Oh, and Rey's jacket says "O2" whatever that means. #StarWars #TheRiseOfSkywalker
Why am I like this?
Follow-Up Question: Can I get some kind of fake Master's Degree in #StarWars linguistics or...?
