student asking question

What does "faux Asian" refer to here? Did the speaker say "faux" because of the shape of the letter which looks bit odd?

Native speaker’s answer

Rebecca

He refers to the "thank you" as being "faux Asian" because it was meant to look like writing from an Asian language (Chinese, Japanese, etc.), but in reality it does not resemble any written language from Asia. It is also written in English, but is supposed to look like it is not written in English (although it is clearly written in English).
