I have seen groups with there tags that have crowns on them and other pictures.
I was wondering if anyone knows how to do this? I dont think this is the typical ascii stuff.

Hmmmm. . . . . I can't get any of these to work in SL. Is there a special program or something that you need?

should just be holding the alt key while entering the code from the keypad, don't use the numbers at the top.
Don"t enter the + sign ex: Trademark is alt 0153 or ™ Registered tm is alt 0174 or ® |

Some of them aren't working for me either.
What font is that chart for? You can try using charmap on Windows. On my system the variable FontSansSerifFallback is set to MSGOTHIC.TTC;gulim.ttc;simhei.ttf;ArialUni.ttf. So I can do Start Run, type charmap, press enter, then pick the font MSGOTHIC, doubleclick on the characters I want to use, click copy, then in SL chatbar, press Control V to paste, and voila the characters appear. ArialUni might be the better choice, I don't know. _____________________

you need a font that is able to display the glyphs.
Those are not always present on all operating systems. go get some unicode fonts. |

Thank you, Damien! Until now I could copy and paste the symbols but not use the ALT keys to generate them. The codes at the site you recommended work perfectly for me. (XP Media Center)
