Wait, what the hell?
« on: October 19, 2011, 12:47:58 pm »
No pun intended. I just embarked on a volcano in my endless search for upright weapons, and I found one. However, instead of a/an ☼adamantine longsword☼, I find a/an []adamantine longsword[]. Why?

Also, what's the Unicode I'm looking for here?

Well, you see, the gods needed to train up a migrant god of smiths and forges after the last one in the pantheon became mayor chief deity and started mandating Aether earrings, resulting in an unfortunate divine accident.

Actually, it may just be the fact that I'm using true font.

Do you mean exceptional? That would be "≡". Then again, some tilesets will showboth ≡ and ☼ as [].

Either way it would seem rather out of place, but I'll learn to live with it.

I like Tevish Szat's explanation better. :)

Have them killed. Nothing solves a problem quite as effectively as simply having it killed.
