fun and ½ with special characters

Post by desolator144 »

Most people don't know that all standard US english keyboards have a built in feature where they can type special characters (actually I think the function is built into windows, not the keyboard)
It's really quite a simple replacement function by the windows IO code. Not that you need to know that lol. All you need to know is if you hold the alt key and type 0169 then release alt you get ©, the copyright symbol :) Seriously, try it right now! Ooh and try 0135, it's a cool one ‡
If you have XP, you can go to Start < Accessories < System Tools < character map and click on most of the first hundred or so characters and it will give you the keystroke combination needed to type it. Somehow some are mysteriously missing like the Spanish ¡ so look at this site for a full guide:
http://www.forlang.wsu.edu/help/keyboards.asp

I put my favs on a sticky note on my first monitor (I got duals) :D
Now what the hell does this have to do with SRO? :P
well that's simple:
1. U can type awesome designs for stalls and globals by combining special symbols
2. U can pretend you're TÙRKÍSH or ¡SPANISH! etc
3. You can name your stall or guild with a ™ © or ®
4. You can just plain annoy people
5. and in case you didn't notice, you can't copy and paste into SRO

yeah, I know, I'm excited too now! lolz :P :D

lol, you're an idiot. Here's the entire ascii set:

we switched to unicode like....decades ago. Get with it. Dunno if the alt key combos are technically unicode values but the characters are in the unicode set.

well at least now ppl know where the character map is now so they can throw a string together in that :P then again, gameguard tends to block all things that interact with SRO

hmmm...well there's several possibilities and I should have listed them.
This won't work if you...
1. don't live in the US and thus...
2. don't have english as your language for XP
3. don't have XP (not sure which OS's support it actually, Vista should, 2000 might)
4. have a REALLY weird keyboard like an AS400 one or something
5. are typing in a program where the text input field is set to not take unicode characters
6. don't type it correctly :P

oh and a lot of wireless keyboards have a tendency to skip out when you're holding keys so it won't catch the alt the entire time

Alt + 255 does a blank space and if you type a bad work right after that space it is not blocked in game!!!
