Today I found something quite interesting in my email. An xml file with this puzzle:

-|- |-| 0_ |\/| 0 0 |\| | § |_ | -|-

Can you solve it for me?

is it...

The Moon Is Lit

Because

the symbols look like letters
-|- is t
|-| is H
0_ is e
|\/| is M
0 is O
|\| is n
| is I
§ is S
|_ is L

“tHe MOON IS LIt” written in l33+ speak, the computer text language where letters are replaced by numbers, symbols, and combinations of characters which form a resemblance to the shape of the letters. There might be a wiki page about it, try https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Leet
