You can't use extended characters in TW. It won't accept

as a name, either.

Most ptorpers do not rely on the name. They check the fighit,
then they go. That sometimes means that corpies get torped.

such as:

take ansi characters off the extended ansi character map and use them to construct a player name to confound ptorp/attack scripts that rely on recognized names generated from normal keyboard setup

Takes a fraction of an MS longer, adds a little complexity, but overall not difficult to do. Most people don't tho, mombot's foton doesn't.
