Is it just me or too filters in modern search engines do not show any discussions on the background of 1488 becoming a unicode for symbol א, aleph? Someone must have tried to dig this story up.
But all I see is a single post on Medium:

@alter_kaker personally, I was more impressed with Aleph. Any number in the 1XXX range corresponds to a year with some terrible events—it's just the sad truth of history.
But the first letter of Hebrew being 1488—there should be some funny trolling behind it, right? What is the probability of such a coincidence?
