A symbolic question

In brief, does anyone know if there's a table of all symbols, alphanumeric and otherwise, supported by the CoH chat?

I bet the answer to this is as simple as "what character set does CoH use for in-game chat" I just don't know it myself. (Like ASCII vs. whatever, idk.)

I believe any unicode character will work...

In chat. For character names (and I believe for biographies as well), you're limited to a subset of ASCII.

No. I've only tested a few scripts, but CoH is fairly limited in what it supports:

Latin-1 and Latin Extended-A are supported
Latin Extended-B is not supported
Some IPA characters are supported
Some lone diacritics are supported
Greek/Coptic is supported
Cyrillic is supported
Armenian, Hebrew, and Arabic are not supported
Indic scripts are not supported
Math symbols are not supported
Hangul is broken: it shows up in text, but not in speech bubbles.
Fullwidth characters are supported

Everything else, including most CJK support, is untested.

As far as I can tell, all three work just fine in the chat window, in the chat bubbles... and even in character Bios.

All right, thanks for the info - I found a unicode character that would serve my purposes. Unfortunately, inserting it into a beginchat bind breaks the input field.

Thanks anyway, though.
