There are no typos. The text is mirrored/flipped. I wasn't aware I could do that here. As another replied, reading the poem is a requirement for truly understanding both the snark and boojum metaphors
Do you not think mispelling "had" as "dah" (even if we don't bother to consider how it used outright incorrect [aka upsidedown] characters) is a typo? Either way I think my sentiment was clear - that the mystery needs to be spoiler-tagged so we do not ruin it for other ppl visiting the comments.
And so I would've gotten to try and figure it out myself too, once I at least knew what character was being used and not stuck only seeing illegible handwriting.

Though I understand if you didn't know about upside-down unicode, that you could only supply the spoilered version and not the cleaned unspoilered one. So the only really applicable part is the one protecting others.

"The poem"? There is no such text in the poem, and I don't know if I would even call it as such. It was literally only 2 lines in a single panel, and no poem was secretly placed elsewhere. Or I failed to spot it.
The Hunting of the Snark is a famous nonsense poem. Your earlier interpretation seemed confused; these are both words with definitions in the poem.

I think there is a misunderstanding. The 2 lines come from a larger poem (not shown in the manga) called “The Hunting of the Snark” by Lewis Carroll, as spotted by th3odora earlier. When I referred to “the poem,” I was talking about that. The lines used are a quotation from something not written by the author of Otherside Picnic.
