Special characters
I'm running into problems where I can't make item names for bushido because characters with accents on them are parsed badly by the engine. How well are special characters (Eg "Ō") supported, and if they're possible to use, what format is required? The only system I've seen in the game for unicode characters requires spaces after the character in question, which makes it ugly at best, so I'm hopeful there's another way that lets me have actual words.....

I tried making that Ō character with the Unicode — Ō — for Shrike as a test, and wound up with a capital L instead.

You need to use &#x<hex number from 00-ff>; Look at helium fuel rods or AutoSentinel.
I do not know the characters by memory. It was how I displayed some fractions for some of my items, though.

From memory though, this requires a space after it or it parses the rest of the word.PM wrote:You need to use &#x<hex number from 00-ff>; Look at helium fuel rods or AutoSentinel.

I am still unable to get this functioning. Decimal value (Ō) and hexadecimal (Ō) both fail, and give a capital 'L' instead of an 'Ō'. I don't know if I've hit a bug in the game, or something annoying and undocumented.

I've been able to just use the characters for european accented characters. If the game supports unicode fonts it probably parses xml as unicode and you can just put the character in your string with Windows' character map utility. If it doesn't support unicode you're just not going to get anything not in the ascii set.
