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>). This code does not represent the character in unicode, rather the code page 437 on old IBM pcs. | 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.

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]]. | |||

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. | |||

| 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. | |||

| 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. | |||
