[Confirmation] Pronunciation of "ImHex" regarding adoption of "Kawaii" logo

[a4lg]

It's just a confirmation and feel free to close this if this isn't a problem at all.

On version 1.34.0, ImHex adopted new "Kawaii logo" with a Japanese ruby "イムヘックス", which corresponds to the pronunciation of ImHex.

"イムヘックス" can effectively be splitted to: "イム" and "ヘックス" and it's hardly ambiguous how to pronounce "Hex" ("ヘックス" (hekkusu) represents that pronunciation you would imagine).

Note: Two u vowels are common to represent closed syllables in Japanese transcription; Japanese has only few closed syllables, ending in a consonant and often requires adding some vowels after such syllable in the original language, normally "u" but sometimes "o" or "i").

But how about "イム" (imu), representing a pronunciation just like "Vim minus V"?

If "Im" in "ImHex" should be pronounced like "I'm" and we have a clear position about ImHex's pronunciation, this "Kawaii logo" may need to fix the ruby from "イム" to "アイム" (aimu).

On the other hand, this isn't an issue if:

• We officially pronounce "Im" in ImHex as represented in the Japanese ruby (as I described) or
• We don't care much about pronunciation of ImHex.

Of course, even cases above don't apply, we have an option to ignore it, considering this ruby as just a decorative element.

Hey, thank you for doing this investigation! The Im from ImHex comes from ImGui, the library we use to draw the entire interface which stands for Immediate Mode Graphical User Interface. So the way it's written in the logo should be correct as it's pronounced the same way as the beginning of the word Immediate.

In phonetics, the correct pronunciation is /ˈɪmhɛks/.

Looks okay as is. Closing but I'm happy to be able to confirm that.

Thanks! @WerWolv

To note: Japanese transcription of the word "immediate" would be "イミディエイト" and the first two kanas "イミ" (i-mi) correspond to the pronunciation of the part "imme"[ɪˈmi]. That's fine (again) even if the Japanese ruby "イム" (i-mu) doesn't exactly match that is because a vowel follows on "immediate" case.
