From the Wikipedia entry for this new language.


# hax0r, "hacker", where the symbols are used to draw rough approximations to letters: >< is an "x", |2 is an "r". It is possible that the substitution of "ck" with "x" is a linguistic nod to the Greek letter chi. Also, Haxor is sometimes found as "Haxxor", as symbols for "x" are often doubled.
# h4x, "hacks"
# rox0rs, "rocks"
# sux0rz, "sucks", as in "s|_|x0rz my n|_|tz0rz" when one feels pity for someone else, or when angry
# suxxor, some other person considered unfriendly; also used in friendly name calling among gamers
