Players using Alt Key Characters in they'r name!

[UL7RA]

There are some guys on the server which use alt key characters in they'r name. It seems that I cannot type these characters in the chat directly, and I don't have acces to the console. What should I do? (Minecraft 1.1, so copy paste won't work)

Tried changing the keyboard layout, no effect at all, the characters will appear like this ?????? (the question marks)

If you are on a mac, hold down the option (alt) key whelst pressing a key, if you are on a windows, then IDK, but may be similar.

Windows has number codes, which are performed with the number pad. é would be alt+130. You can look up a full list online.

I press alt and the number, bot no character will appear in there. HEEELP!!!

You need to use the numpad.. not the numbers across the top of the keyboard. On a laptop.. you'd need to activate the 'function' key.. or FunctioN (FN) Lock to type those numbers... Just make sure if you use FN-lock.. to unlock them.. since they occupy part of the keyboard's area.

I know dude, and that's what I'm doing (I'm on a PC), but the characters still won't appear, even if pressing them on the NumPad with NumLock activated. You know, I'm not that stupid.

[hoho]

Are you holding down alt or alt gr?

[UL7RA]

Just alt.

If you use the Character Map accessory, it should on mouseover (or click, I forget) tell you the keystrokes required to produce any Unicode character.

Also, "they'r"? Really? I mean......really?

If it's just the server staff using unicode in their names then they have probably just edited the files on the server side.

@jakj As you might not know, we aren't all native english speakers.

@RebelNode The problem is that the staff ISN'T using them, but some players that swear.
