Several people have asked how to create various characters in your name, such as ™. This guide will teach you just how to figure out what to do. 1} First up to see a list of characters that may be used, you will need to open the Character map, found in MOST installs of Windows, and the shortcut is usually located in [start] programs - accessories - system tools 2} Change the font to System and then you will see all the available characters that may be used. Cool, go ahead and pick one. 3} You will note that there is a 'character code' for each letter or symbol, for example 0xA5 = ¥ if the character code is just 3 didgits, skip to part 5 as no conversion is necessary, (eg character code = 169 = ® (yes I know many of you are saying, "but the code is 0xAE!!!" - this depends on your version of the character map)) 4} Now the conversion bit. start up the windows calculator, click [ View ] and select scientific. check the 'Hex' radio button, and then enter whatever comes after the x in your desired character code, next check the 'Dec' radio button, your A5 changes to 165 (this is the Decimal value of the Hexadecimal A5 ). 5} Now to put it all together. open notepad or whatever and hold the [alt] key down, while typing 0165 - note you MUST use the numeric keypad for the 0165, it doesn't matter which [alt] key you use though, you then get ¥. Confused? OK. Pick yourself a character. Enter the 2 didgits after the X in it's character code as a Hex value in the calculator, then switch it to Dec. Put the 0 in front of it, and this is the code to type while holding down the alt key. examples: 0xA7 : A7 = 167, therefore [alt] 0167 = § 0xA9 : A9 = 169, therefore [alt] 0169 = © 169 : no conversion necessary [alt] 169 = ® Enjoy Janiriki. |

omg, well this reply is a TAD late, but. to use in game. use the code (eg.) [alt]0169 wherever you want that chracter to be. so if i wanted to type Jani© ... i actually type Jani[alt]0169 hope this clarifies it a bit.
