How do you get them? thanks in advance
Extended ASCII can be written using "Alt codes" -- that is, holding alt and pressing a sequence of keys on your numpad (note: this does not work with normal 1-0 keys above the standard QWERTY keyboard -- only on the numpad which is usually just right of your letter keys).
I find this page pretty useful.
I was under the impression that all of those accents were not allowed in names. I mean you can make them but if someone complains you might have to rename you toon.
That's my understanding as well. You'll likely be faced with a renaming dialogue next time you login if someone reports you.Quote:

Wow lifted that when they realized they could not hold 10 million plus names with only the american alphabet. I was wondering this as well.Quote:

Honestly its kinda stupid imo cause most people don't know about acsii and replying is a bitch.
I read that they made it legal in my search on how to do it. :)
26 factorial = 4.03291461 10^26
pretty sure the english alphabet could handle it
26*25*24*23*22*21 = 7 million something
Something must be wrong with me I feel like fighting
Names are only unique on a per server basis so you don't have to worry about ten million at all.
If your on a mac its option and the letter/letter or something like that. For example my female night elf druids name is Alize, the is done with option-e (to enable the hyphen) and e for the letter. the is option e, is i, is u, is n.
Of course this will only apply to a small fraction of people :(
I've had accents in my 4 toons' names since they were created and no reporting. 70 for a while and everything so I don't think blizz cares.
In answer to your question it's just alt+numpad numbers
e.g. alt+0234 makes:
as you increase the 0234 part (ie 235 ) you move further down the alphabet in the accented characters.
Well, the language could handle it, but most of those names would make no sense to a human reader, and usually be pretty much impossible to even pronounce, not to mention remember.Quote:

My main boxer usually has a special character in their name. It cuts down on the messages a little bit. If I run by and the person does not target me and starts typing my name, before they realize I have a special character hopefully I am far enough away. Very situational but every little bit helps.
These are nice for 5 boxers:
