Default �

so I was wondering if it is possible to enter characters like � into names somehow...

I mean the computer does it randomly with some names... but I can't find a way to do so manually.

also I guess its woth mentioning that Sauromatia hero Sk�gu spawns as Sk for some reason, despite his text reading "Sk�gu."

It's really easy. Press the key in your keyboard with � � or � on it and presto!

What?

If your keyboard does not support those characters (like a US-english kb, for example), you can try using the alt-codes for the character you are looking for. For example, the alt-code for � is 0246. Alt codes can be found easily via the Character Map program which should be at Start->Accessories->System Tools->Character Map on any given windows machine.

Now - as to whether dom3 will actually accept those codes - I dont know. If windows handles the translating at the OS level then it should be fine as dom3 wouldnt even know this was happening.

Default Re: �

One way that I have found to do it is to copy the character from an existing source (like in this topic) and paste it into your text editor. This works in notepad & vim on my WinXP system.
