This is an international game with players all over the globe. We name our lions EVERYTHING, from African themed names to names from our own countries to words in other languages that have interesting meanings and sound pretty...and not all of these words use the American/UK alphabet only. We can't use any letters with an accent or umlaut or diaeresis, or Thorn or Eth or Esszee, etc. So this rules out any Icelandic, Germanic, or French orthographies that have accents in common with other languages (including my beloved Tolkein elvish in its romanized forms) in lion names. Would it be possible to add support for these letters/symbols? If I could use pretty much everything I can pull up normally in Wordpad with Alt+code I'd be a very happy camper...this would even allow us to put a one-character gender symbol (Mars or Venus) in trade bylines!

I think I would maybe support, but only for lion's names. I honestly don't want to go to the forums and see a bunch of threads with a thousand symbols as the title because it just seems like a form of spam to me.

I think they'd crack down on that form of spamming pretty quick. They stay on top of all caps posts and such in the chatroom very well! A stud thread with his name in the title would need access to any characters in his name, and that gender symbol would be soooooooooo useful there too.

I like this idea a lot. Although I think usually one of the reasons alt codes aren't allowed in names and such is that they have a tendency to "break" very often, which is a bummer. :(

I'd support. I was able to use the accent when naming Uruloki, but in chat I can't use it because it comes up as a bunch of weird characters with his name. And I can't use the accent in a thread title because of the same issue.
