Tilde ~ vs ˜ display in game chat log.
Hello, I wasn't really sure where to place this on the forums, as this is more of a request rather than a bug. It's around how the tilde (˜ vs ~) is rendered in the chat log. None of the templates for reporting a in-game bug really fit this, however if a one is required please let me know and I'll supply additional information. Or if this should be moved to a different section please let me know as well.
Currently, when you use the tilde is renders in the chat log as this: ˜
My request is to have it rendered this way: ~
Why you might ask? Well it really comes down to personal preference and the untraditional way it's used in chat log to create various textual emoticons/smilies.
For example, if you want to do a winking face people either do this ;) or ^_~
However, since tilde symbol renders like this ˜ the second option for a winking emoticon doesn't really look right. ^_˜
This isn't by any means a high priority as actual bugs should trump requests like this, but more of a "nice to have".
For folks who aren't familiar with the tilde check out wikipedia for more information for it's traditional uses:
