Thats exactly the way it works, but the database was populated with
randomness.  Even after many generations, its still nonsense.  For
example i just got five letters that resemble: m, r, 3, unicorn, man
using a crossbow while wearing a scarf...

At this point its more of a personality test.  Unless there's a UTF code
point for "Unicorn" that I'm not aware of. :)
