What Does This Mean?
A number-based way to say goodbye in Chinese chat, read as a pun on "拜拜喽" (bye-bye). It is used at the end of a conversation, especially in games and group chats, and is a playful variant of 88.
REAL-WORLD EXAMPLE
"After the match ended, he typed "886" and left the voice channel."
LORE & ORIGIN
The digits 8-8-6 (bā bā liù) sound like 拜拜了 or 拜拜喽 ("bye-bye"), in the same way that 88 stands for 拜拜. A language-learning article describes 886 as a slightly more internet-flavoured version of 88, common in game chats and at the end of group conversations. No dated first use or originating community is documented.
