Your cryptic part isn't all that cryptic if you rewrite it a little:
[]['']
[] will be coerced into a string because it isn't an integer, so you're looking for a property of [] with the name '' (an empty string). You'll just get undefined, as there is no property with that name.
As for the actual letter, break the expression up into the two main components:
- The string
([![]]+[][[]]):
[![]] is [false].[][[]] is undefined.- Add them together and you get
"falseundefined".
- And the index:
[+!+[]+[+[]]]. Some whitespace and parentheses will make the operations much clearer: [+(!(+[])) + [+[]]]:
[+[]] is [0].+[] coerces [] to an integer, so you get 0.!+[] coerces 0 to a boolean and negates it, so you get true.+!+[] coerces true to an integer, so you get 1.- Add them together, and you get
["10"].
When using a string to access the properties of the array and the string happens to be an element of the array, the string is coerced into an integer and you get back the actual element of the array:
> [1, 2, 3]["0"]
1
> [1, 2, 3]["1"]
2
So your final result is:
> "falseundefined"["10"]
"i"
