Title: ASCII Chars. Which OS/Browser does not support it? Post by: Watoshi-Dimobuto on December 17, 2014, 10:49:33 AM I am experimenting with signatures. I just want to know what is the problem with ASCII characters.
Are the following ASCII chars? ▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀ ✽•*` o ◣ 卍 Is it safe to use them in signatures? Which OS/browsers does not support it? Title: Re: ASCII Chars. Which OS/Browser does not support it?

The symbol in the last line is somewhat offensive; I would not use it in a signature as it is a way to turn possible buyers away.

It is considered to be a very sacred and auspicious symbol in Hinduism, Buddhism and Jainism. Just google it. Just because some guy, called Hitler, who doesn't know of its meaning, used it on his own accord, does not make it an offensive symbol. It is considered sacred in many countries.

Hi, Im on XP I can see all ASCII chat without any problem at all Yes, I am also able to see it in everywhere I tried. But here are some quotes which is the reason why I am asking this: Mine works okay, right? I will post the code tmrw. But I don't think I use any ASCII chars. btw, mine does not use ASCII chars, right? You are using ASCII chars. You have plenty of them inside of your sig. If you don't want to use ASCII chars you need to stick to those chars which you see on your keyboard buttons. On windows 8.1 , chrome : That's why I did two versions : Dice+ Flowers and Flower Only for Chrome Lovers :D I'm on XP, But I suggest that Roslinpl using the common symbol since not of all people using windows 8.1 (include me ;D ) 2. That's why I did two versions : Dice+ Flowers and Flower Only for Chrome/XP Lovers :D Thanks ;D , but if the OP choose the first one the chrome or XP users will not see it properly . So I gave the choice to the OP. He can choose second one if he want to. Thing is that there is NO signature around the forum (with ASCII chars) that works same on XP/7/8 Android/iOS. Even winner of the latest LedgerWallet contest was obligated to make it works on every OS - but it isn't working :P There is no way to make a ASCII chars signature which will work everywhere the same. No way :) The problem is, even I am not able to see the chars used by rosinpl. But he says both of the symbols used by me and him are ASCII. But I have no issues with mine. Why is that?

If you travel around Asia you'll see the above symbol at many Buddhist temples but you won't see the "swastika" at all (although maybe the swastika symbol had some other European usage before Hitler).
