Can I use special characters (ei. &, %, $) with name tags?
For instance, I want to rename my Maul something that has to do with the & symbol (e.g. Hi&), however, when I click to confirm it and it gives the preview, it shows everything except the symbol I wanted. I do notice, that when I use two of the symbols (Hi&&), it shows correctly in the preview it gives. I am not entirely sure of this, because I think that only using one Ampersand symbol works just doesn't show in the preview.
I haven't used the nametag yet, I just want some clarification from any of you players out there.

No one is responding because probably no one knows the answer.

you're better off trying and seeing what ends up working and doesn't. like starting your name with % in steam people can see it, but in game the first % will be omitted. also why Hi&?

I'm going to try the "Hi&&" when I get home, and 'Hi&' is just an example

It worked in game, but if you looked at it from steam, it would show the & symbols.

I really wonder if people actually read the date of the last post before posting...Or more importantly how these people find these threads without realizing how old they are.
