Uniqlo reveals its name was a 1988 typo, mistakenly written as "Uniqlo" instead of "Uniclo."

Uniqlo, the popular Japanese clothing brand, revealed its name is a typo that occurred during its registration in 1988.

The brand has embraced this mistake, using social media to share the story and demonstrate the correct pronunciation.
