You can't use ™ too. If you go in a server with a name called "lol™" In the score board and in the chat your name will be "lol", but script will detect it as "lol_". 2 players can have the same name :P
Also if you enter the server with only ™ in your name it will display you with out a name.

Hey,

download the 0.1 source and you will see that all chars with an ascii value below 32 and above 122 are replaced with an underscore

To compile it, you need to update all Rak Net files and change the headders. (or find Rak Net 2.3.*)

Well ™ isn't on a keyboard so it shouldn't be available anyway,

Ah so thats why most of these symbols show up as _ wonder what the reason for this is? would be good to have the basic symbols, the ones already on keyboards, but we really dont need most of those crazy things in charmap.exe
