bug: quote special characters

when using BBCode with "=special characters" in game messages, it doesn't work.

Example:
français wrote:
some text...

the "ç" is the problem here...
francais wrote:
some text...



It works in the forums... can it be fixed in game too?
  • Does it work in the 'in-game' forums or do you mean these forums?

    Only a limited set of the bb-codes are supported: http://i.prntscr.com/5GYCfMJxQgCmTseiLC4UTw.png

    as listed when selecting the 'bb-code' button in messages.

    These forums are using dedicated forum software so have many more features than those in the game. I'll pass on this to the developers of the in-game software but, as is often the case, it is a weekend so don't expect a comment soon.

    As an experiment with my UK keyboard I tried the ALT+numeric keypad route.

    ç is ALT-135

    and this displays correctly in both the chat window and in messages.

    I have no reason to think other Extended ASCII codes won't work - that is those from ALT-128 to ALT-255
  • The use of extended character set in the user name - now I understand.
