In Qud, there are certain symbols that are used in the game strings that take the form of <code>\u0000</code>, where <code>0</code> is any digit in hexadecimal. This code does not represent the character in unicode, rather the code page 437 on old IBM pcs. The game also uses the escape code <code>�</code>, where <code>0</code> is any digit in decimal in its XML files | In Qud, there are certain symbols that are used in the game strings that take the form of <code>\u0000</code>, where <code>0</code> is any digit in hexadecimal. In XML, this also takes the form of <code>�</code>, where the <code>0</code> is any digit in hexadecimal (Single digit hexadecimal will not be padded or have trailing 0s Ex: <code></code>).

The game also uses the escape code <code>�</code>, where <code>0</code> is any digit in decimal in its XML files. Below is the table of the entire codepage. For more information, see Wikipedia's own page about [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Code_page_437 Code page 437]. | |||

To use one of these characters in a name or description in game, you may need to escape them. For instance, to get the ♥, in C# you would use <code>"\x03"</code>, and in the XML <code>&x03;</code>. | |||
In most cases, the strings are added with color codes, so here are some examples of that. For more info about Caves of Qud's color code, check out [[Modding: Colors & Object Rendering]]. | |||

==Remarks== | |||
You may also see the following escape sequences used in some places. They map indirectly to particular code page 437 values based on their underlying ASCII character value. | |||

|- | |- | ||
| {{Color | K | ο}} | | {{Color | K | ο}} | ||
| | | <code><nowiki>{{K|\t}}</nowiki></code> | ||
| Dodge symbol | | Dodge symbol | ||
| This works because <code>\t</code> stands for the TAB character, which has an ASCII character code of 9. Thus, it maps to code page 437 \x09. | |||
|- | |- | ||
| {{Color | | | {{Color | G | •}} | ||
| | | <code><nowiki>{{G|\a}}</nowiki></code> | ||
| | | Blocked attack blip<br>(among other things) | ||
| This works because <code>\a</code> stands for the BEL character, which has an ASCII character code of 7. Thus, it maps to code page 437 \x07. | |||
