Icons for Signs, Plaques and Books

[Zack D]

After some testing i was able to compile a small collection of icons, symbols and special characters that are compatible with the in-game font used in the signs, allowing for some neat designs. Here are the ones i was able to test and compile so far:

← → ↑ ↓
─ │ ┌ ┐ └ ┘ ┬ ┴ ┼ ═ ═ ║ ═ ║ ╔ ╗ ╚ ╝ ╦ ╩ ╠ ╣ ╬ ̅  ̷  ͡  Ӷ 
♠ ♣ ♥ ♦
♪ ♫
π ∞ √ © ® Ω
▀ ▄ █ ▌ ▐
 ░ ▒ ▓
☼ ◊ ⌂ ◘    ◙
● ○ ◌ ▲ ▼ ◄ ► 
« » ‹ ›
∙ × ÷ ± ≈ ≠ √ ∆ ∇ ♯ 
¢ ¥ § Ɨ ƕ ǂ ȸ ȹ ɷ ɸ ʬ ʭ Ͳ ͳ Θ Ξ Ψ ζ ϡ Ж ҂ Ѻ ҈ ҉ ҩ ֍ ֎ ۞ ۝ ۩

½ ¼ Æ Þ Ħ Ɣ ƍ ƕ Ʃ Ƶ ƿ Ƚ ɀ ϟ Љ չ ւ
ڪ ک ے 

If anyone finds any more that are able to be used, let me know and i'll add them to the list.

How do you get them in the game...

[Maelstrom]

Those are ascii arts on the signs.  You have to type the characters onto the sign.

[Tom Cantine]

It should also be possible to paste them in from an external text editor. I do that with books I write, so I can make multiple copies rather than have to transcribe them all as scrolls.

These are ASCII characters, however, not ALL ASCII characters are compatible with the font used in the game. Those that i used and posted there are just the ones i was able to test and verify that indeed work.
To make those arts on the signs and books it takes a little bit of practice and positioning. If you need i can send a screenshot of how they look like both in the sign and in its UI.

I wasnt able to. Maybe because im on mac?

[Tom Cantine]

That's probably not it. I'm on a Mac too.

Speaking of which, have you ever seen the moon in game? I have not and I'm wondering if it's a Mac thing....
