Hi, i've seen many players using symbols in names like this .:|ËvĩŁ_ŦēàM|:. (this is my nick name with symbols) => heres the normal one .:|EviL_teaM|:. i've tried to introduce this in settings.cfg but is doesnt save the symbols and ingame my nick has "?"s instead of he symbols , what to do? Thanks a lot.

Re: [HELP] symbols in nick name

In windows there is the character map, I'm sure you know it, that's where you get all these symbols.
As teeworlds uses the font DejaVuSans.ttf, that is not installed on a windows computer default, you got to install it (Just doubleclick it, a menu will open smile ). After installing you choose the font in the character map and then copy the desired symbols out of it.

Use a text editor capable of UTF-8, like notepad++

Well, using symbols in your nickname immediately shows that you are < ~18 years old, so if I were you I would not use them anyways.
