Special Characters in Names

I've noticed a few of these in chat recently (that's the only lace they appear). There is not a wiki entry and nothing on the forums (that I could find). It seems like most Unicode characters are valid but since testing would require renaming my character, and that can only happen every two months, I think it'd be faster to ask the hivemind that is the forum.

Use this to Thread to post the character that you know work or don't work (please tell us which!) 
if you know it, please provide the unicode# and/or keystroke too :)

If a dev feels like answering: is this going to be kept/tossed/integrated? Thanks!

  • There are quite a few different places the user name is displayed in, but many use different fonts with different character sets and often you get pretty different results; it's difficult to say which character works where consistently across the board.

  • I ran into one glitch whose characters didn't translate into a visible name above the avatar, but I could read it in the chat when they appeared on the street.
