Modding:Code page 437

This article has information that is missing or not up to par.
Reason: More testing needed. Are there other codes that do not follow 437 conventions? If the intended 437 code is used for these irregular symbols, does it still work?

In Qud, there are certain symbols that are used in the game strings that take the form of \u0000, where 0 is any digit in hexadecimal. This code does not represent the character in unicode, rather the code page 437 on old IBM pcs. Below is the table of the entire codepage, including the associated unicode with the symbol. For more information, see Wikipedia's own page about Code page 437.

Example Codes in Qud

In most cases, the strings are added as

str.Append(color code).Append(escape code for symbol)

Where str is an object of the StringBuilder class. For more info about Caves of Qud's color code, check out Modding: Text Color Codes & Object Rendering.

In Game	String	Usage
♥	&r\u0003	HP or Damage
→	&c\u001a	Penetration, or slipping
♦	&b\u0004	Armor value
¢	&C\u009b	Cybernetics credit wedge

Unconventional Codes
