On Wednesday, the Ministry of Railways joined the viral ''Look Between Keyboard Letters'' trend to share an awareness message.

People from all over the world have started joining in on the fun and have been coming up with their unique versions to signify various things. The Railway Ministry also shared its take on the viral trend on X.
''Rail Passenger: Who can dial 139? Railways: Look at your keyboard between Y and I,'' the tweet by the Ministry of Railways read.

Delhi Police, Swiggy, YouTube, Blinkit and other brands have also jumped onto the bandwagon and shared memes. However, the trend has seen mixed reactions. While some have used it playfully to spread positive messages, others find it annoyingly repetitive.
Notably, the trend's roots trace back to a 4chan post in May 2021, according to Know Your Meme. That post included a picture of Yui Hirasawa, the main character of a popular anime series, along with the caption "look between t and o" on your keyboard, yielding the character's first name.
In the past, the Railways has also participated in the ‘Casual Hai’ and‘Just Looking Like a wow’viral trends.
