Depends on the particular dialect of |337 you're using. There is no actual correct leet, it's generally just using symbols for letters in some marginally readable way. Since you caught that "+" was supposed to be "T", his version obviously worked

[Rayder]

No, there is original leet speak which uses only numbers to replace letters, and then there's the bunch of cheezy copies.

True

From my understanding |337 originally evolved from old school internet BBSs. People would change out certain letters for nunbers/symbols which many times defeated the search engines of the day. There was not however a set lexicon of what was supposed to be used in place of what. The guiding rule of thumb seemed to be just whatever was still readable /shrug
