List your favorite characters here! Unicode, ASCII, etc.
₧
^ What is that, anyway? It seems to read 'Pts'...
Maybe we could use that in games?
-
Hm, my favorites are:
çé♥→
I use those fairly often and I know the codes by ♥-- er, I mean by heart. Um, otherwise I like these ones, too:
╔═╦╗░
╠═╬╣▒
║ ║║▓
╚═╩╝█
I like to make mazes out of those in Notepad :D
-
✄ How's this?
-
A bomb:
♌
J/k, it's Leo.
-
Д
Russian. This is the letter "D" in their language.

Spanish Peseta.
〠

Oh, I see... Still looks like points, though :D
And what is that? O.O

☭
<.<
But I like this one:
☃

I like those. Pretty nice for plain text readmes. They screw up terribly bad in some browsers, though.

I'm going to start using those in readmes now :o Great for "pixels" too, I guess (the ones on the right).

There are also single-bordered lines, if you check my TI-81 Illusiat readme.

Heh, I use +-| for those. Calculator-style ;D

Yeah, that is why i tend to avoid them. I am not even sure how I should save them (I typically go with Unicode). But yeah, some browsers will have issues with these non standard characters... I made a readme for an old, old BASIC program called Block Eater that used these, but mostly because I was bored and I wanted to doodle. Doodling is kinda tough in Notepad, though :D

My favorite character? I'd probably have to go with
無
(for its geek significance (https://secure.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/en/wiki/Mu_%28negative%29), though the actual meaning of the character is rather mundane)
Recently, though, I was amused to discover the character
-
There's a list with a ton of them. ☺ ░▒▓█ (http://www.alt-codes.net/) I swear, there were better websites though...
At one point, I made this whole tutorial for "making boxes with unicode" :P

Strange, I see all chars in this thread fine, except the last 4 FloppusMaximus posted. O.o

The first one is (http://www.fileformat.info/info/unicode/char/7121/sample.png) (http://www.fileformat.info/info/unicode/char/7121/index.htm). It's in geek culture, as his link points out ;D
The second one's (http://www.fileformat.info/info/unicode/char/13028/egyptian_hieroglyph_a035.png) (http://www.fileformat.info/info/unicode/char/13028/index.htm). Apparently it's supposed to be an Egyptian hieroglyph ???
Can't tell what the other is, though.
-
Wait, there were Egyptian hieroglyphs this detailled and not-ancient-looking? O.O

Well, aliens came and helped them with some of them, according to Floppus :P
-
韓
It means Korea! :D
-
Another one of the greatest chars ever.
-
apparently this one is actually a greek letter, just not very well used. though in the ancient days like the golden age of pericles, this was used in almost every other word:
EDIT: it's the letter 韓
