This is something I'm sure we ALL need, ne? So here's how to do the Server Symbols.

For all symbols, first you need to type &# then a three-digit number, then a ;

No spaces. No formatting necessary, the above formatting was just to accentuate its importance. Here are the numbers that you put inside the punctuation marks:

Δ Delta: 916
Θ Theta: 920
Λ Lambda: 923
Σ Sigma: 931
Ω Omega: 937

REMEMBER: When editing posts that have these server symbols, make sure you place the code again, or else the Server Symbol will screw up and show something else, that Ä some topics have, for example.

Indeed, this is very useful. Just for future reference, this shall be posted. ^_^

Good job Ichida. It'd be nice if people started using this more often.

Thanks for the compliment. I knew this would be of use. ^-^

Ichida: 2! :P

There is another... perhaps easier way to do this... use the symbol font.

D is Delta,
Q is Theta,
L is Lamda,
S is Sigma,
W is Omega.

becomes D Q L S W

However... his varient is shorter, and should be used when pressed for space.

Δ
Is that how its done?

Well, seeing as the symbol's right there, I'm guessing you got it right. :P

Is there any other symbol you could use? Ill try some random numbers.

Ζ
˥
ȟ
{
ư

Those ain't numbers :ph43r:

They is that there code

*Pulls pants up*

Cause if yas thinks real hards, yous will sees that I used that codes to make them symbols.

Basicly instead of 916 in the code, I put like 123. Easy as cake









And you're coming up with nadda. :P If you want the numbers for any specific character (including greek letters), let me know :P

Δ

just trying it

Here are some other symbols if anybody wants to use them:

Γ Gamma Capital: 915
Ξ Xi Capital: 926
Π Pi Capital: 928
Φ Phi Capital: 934
Ψ Psi Capital: 936
α Alpha Lowercase: 945
β Beta Lowercase: 946
γ Gamma Lowercase: 947
δ Delta Lowercase: 948
ε Epsilon Lowercase: 949
ζ Zeta Lowercase: 950
η Eta Lowercase: 951
θ Theta Lowercase: 952
ι Iota Lowercase: 953
κ Kappa Lowercase: 954
λ Lambda Lowercase: 955
μ Mu Lowercase: 956
ν Nu Lowercase: 957
ξ Xi Lowercase: 958
π Pi Lowercase: 960
ρ Rho Lowercase: 961
ς Final Sigma Lowercase: 962
σ Sigma Lowercase: 963
τ Tau Lowercase: 964
υ Upsilon Lowercase: 965
φ Phi Lowercase: 966
χ Chi Lowercase: 967
ψ Psi Lowercase: 968
ω Omega Lowercase: 969

if your making a certain smilie that looks like this ¬_¬
do 6666666, it's long.. I know, tell me if you find a shorter version

Δ muahahahahah

I see you enjoy the feature I have bestowed upon to the board. :P
~Pink Rose~

for a ¬_¬ smiley, a short way of doing it is option + L! muwahahaha That's for us Mac users anyway. For all the symbols available on Windows and their keystrokes, read and learn, cos this gets complicated to explain time and time again.

1. Go to Start Menu
2. Go to Programs submenu
3. Go to Accessories submenu
4. Go to System Tools Submenu
5. Go to Character Map application


Once there, you'll be granted the wisdom of many programmers' time wasted playing with things and getting them to actually make something.

I suppose its time I reveal my source. Thias is the site where I found out how to type the Symbols. Enjoy!

http://www.htmlhelp.com/reference/html40/e...es/symbols.html

Choose #s around 100 to get letters. For example put in 100 for d

Put in 8592-8595 to get arrows.

Umm, why would they want to use code for letters?

Δ
Θ
Λ
Σ
Ω

Nice work yet again Ichida. ^_^

Ø Fat Chix

Is there a way to make the TM or ©?

What the... I just made the ©.

What system are you using? Windows or Mac OS? Reason I need to know, is that there are different ways to make the symbols on the two systems.

Mac (English keyboard setting):
option + 2 = ™
option + g = ©

Windows
not sure, but if you go through the following steps, you'll find it:

1. open start menu
2. go to programs submenu
3. go to accessories submenu
4. go to system tools submenu
5. click on character map and select the font you wish to use

Alert! Not all symbols are available on all Windows system fonts. You've got to fish through the fonts till you find one that will support the symbol you are looking for.

I have been registered just that i can't do anything when i'm logged in.

Go to ZAC,registration and PM me there.

Another way for © is ( C )

Not actually. ( C ) is not equal to ©. They are indeed different, and ( C ) has no meaning, though I have discovered it types © when put together. :/

What the hell are you talking about? It's the same symbol.

I edited the post, genious. You people just post post post after someone else. I noticed it put the same symbol after I posted, and I didn't know it would.

I think he put the ( C ) as a guide, because anybody who can tell should know that if you put them together it'd make ©, because if the brackets ween't seperated then it would just make the symbol and not show how to do it.

¬_¬

¬ = ALT + 170

Use it in irc all the time, so ..

™


it doesn't work on mine. THAT SUCKS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Man, I really wish I would've seen this topic here earlier. I posted my first quest topic by copying and pasting the delta symbol I found in a FAQ here because I'm lazy and didn't feel like manually finding the code for it myself. I mean, that takes mouse movement. Anyways, I thought it would work out but it didn't. Now I have a 'Ä' instead of a 'Δ' in the topic title and it looks really stupid. The worst part is that I can't even change it, so its stuck there...

*Slaps forehead* <_<

I found the character map but I don't know how to use it.

D

Do we put this code in the topic title area?

is there a site where you can download new symbols? like spades or swords or dice?

You don't download them--they're all number entries like those were.

Or ALT + ### keys.

I hate typing those stupid symols :angry:

S
like this?
