Firstly, it would be nice if you told us what natural language word you were
trying to make into a {fu'ivla} instead of requiring us to sift through Google
results to figure out what you're talking about.

Anyway, after realizing that you're referring to "kryakozyabry," I suggest:

    x1 = misdecoded character
    x2 = intended character
    x3 = proper encoding
    x4 = incorrect decoding

Or, if you want a place structure that parallels that of "{fanva}":

    x1 = agent
    x2 = intended character
    x3 = proper encoding
    x4 = incorrect decoding
    x5 = misdecoded character

Also, you might want to create the {fu'ivla} from "mojibake" instead, which
seems to be the more popular term, judging by the fact that it returns almost
ten times as many hits on Google as "kryakozyabry" does, and that "mojibake" is
the name of the Wikipedia article dealing with the concept.  Alternatively, it
shouldn't be too hard to come up with a suitable {lujvo} to use instead;
"{spole'u}" and "{pofle'u}" come to mind.
