Yo peeps if u want to make ur name look cool this is how:

1. Go to start

2. Go to run

3. Type in "charmap" (short for character map) and press enter

4. Find the letter u wish to use

5. Click on it and click select

6. It will then appear in the text box.

8. Go to registration form and copy and paste the letter you selected.

9. Keep copying and pasting until your name is complete.

10. Have fun!! ;)

P.S. Changed my name so yall wouldn\'t think im here to "bash" hehe :)

Y\'all do know that these symbols have linguistic meaning, and that what you\'re showing is in no way pronounced the way it does in original from.

You do, right?

UPDATE:

For example (now that I have charmap ;)):

ĪŗθġĮθĐΫīē really sounds like: Ie-arth-hell-thdue-why-ie-ee

I edited my post to show what I mean.  If you find it interesting you should take a class called "Linguistics."  That\'s where I learned it.

I\'ll be right back with another example.

This is what I\'m talking about:

The following is an English sentence spelled out phonically.

[dΛbz æskt hız brΛđŗ wΛt ıt wΛz layk ιn đi Λđŗ wŗld ņd ız brΛđŗ sεd ıt wΛz nat эnlak Klivņd]

"Dubbs asked his brother what is was like in the other world, and he said it was not unlike Cleavland."


Oh!  And here is my name (Jason) in Russian!

If you don\'t have character map installed it\'s easy to get it. (Win98; not sure of ME)[list=1]
