Nicks like □□□□

Why is this game showing my teammates nicks as square square square ? Is that possible to have that nick? How should I call that teammate? Hey, square, triangle, delta come with me?

    It is likely due to the names being in a font you do not have installed on your machine.

    How to Install and Manage Fonts in Windows 10
     
    1. Open the Windows Control Panel.
    2. Select Appearance and Personalization.
    3. At the bottom, select Fonts. ...
    4. To add a font, simply drag the font file into the font window.
    5. To remove fonts, just right click the chosen font and select Delete.
    6. Click Yes when prompted.
  • @AreYouShivering Sounds like this is a steam account. Steam allows many special characters to be used in the name and those blocks are one of them. When ever you see a real weird looking name they most likely are on steam.
  • @E9ine_AC This is 100% true.
    Steam supports mostly all languages/ special characters, but the games on steam sometimes don't like Apex.

    I ended up with □□□XX□□□ funny apex name,
    changed it so people could actually read it.
