I know you change your gobal.con file but the saving is a bit weird and doesn't seem to work

Also I know hardly any of the special characters work anyone have a list of what ones show up in game?

Hi Matt, I think that the global.con saves the file in Unicode encoding and as far as I know this means that when you reload it again, you will just end up with those rectangular boxes for any incompatible characters.
I have tried this before and got kicked by PB for something about 'extended ASCII characters'.

The printable characters here are the ones that definitely work, I think SOME of the extended ASCII ones may as when I logged some displayed correctly where it says your username at the bottom. I think this one (µ mju) may work as I remember that displaying correctly.

You can get these characters by doing this (they aren't available ingame)
< > { } \ / | , .)
I'm sure there's more- just try some and see what happens

^^^^

And if you put any ^ % & etc symbols in your in game name the symbols will be replaced with spaces on the kill log which results in you being kicked by clueless admins.

I've seen tags with superscript characters in them before. Superscript as in smaller and higher than the rest of the text, like you would write the "2" in x^2.
