What is 8647 meaning in text messages?

[Phillips]

I recently came across the number 8647 in a conversation, and I’m not sure what it means. It doesn’t seem like a random number, so I’m guessing it might be some kind of slang or code. Can someone explain the 8647 meaning and how it’s typically used? Also, is it common or just used in specific situations?

"Hey all, I looked into this one and it seems like 8647 is often used as a code word for 'I love you.' If you break down the numbers, each digit corresponds to a letter in the alphabet (A=1, B=2, etc.). So, 8=H, 6=V, 4=4 (just a number, no letter), 7=O. I've seen people use it in text messages to be a bit more subtle about their feelings."
