RE:Server Name/Unicode Symbol Help
« on: January 06, 2010, 10:33:46 pm »
Ok since the last topic was locked for no reason whatsoever, I'm guessing it was done on purpose possibly. I'll ask again.

I was wondering what unicode character the little boxes are, that show up on lots of servers. I was wishing to use them.

Is it only a Mac/Linux thing? Or can we windows Users use these as well?

Hey man, just back off before they ban you =/

I'd post how but they'd just delete it. They don't like the boxes in the names. I think though if one person can have a gun, every person should be able to have a gun, so I'll say yeah, you can do this shit in windows. Just google some unicode stuff.

:P It's considered a big deal, because it puts your server on the top of the server list, and it's spammy

I've never got why people ask how to do things when they have a stack of examples to copy.

Well, I dont understand how one would copy these unicode characters off a server name.... Its a certain unicode character, which there are millions of, and that means its extremely difficult to find the right one.

I can get no help here. I suppose someone delete both these topics?

I already got it. Its nothing here, and I didn't have to try a lot of the unicode symbols before I actually found which one it was....
