Special characters on toon creation

by g00dbye » Mon Jun 29, 2015 8:15 pm

Cant seem to get special letters to work on character creation for some reason, what might be the problem ?
Letters show up either empty or in form of question marks.

I'm not going to pretend I know a lot about character encoding, but I know the question marks are there to show that those characters are not part of UTF-8(?) or whatever encoding WoW accepts.

Google is your friend though. OwnedCore has a 2008 post that shows confirmed(?) characters that are accepted:

Are you talking about regular characters or accented characters here? Try some out on the link I provided. Your client shouldn't be a problem here unless you somehow changed the base font for WoW itself.

I'm using the default font. Pretty sure it's Arial.
