When creating a new character, beginning a name with Ð (alt+0208) causes no issues and the name appears on the character select screen and in-game as typed. However, when using that alt code in the middle of a name, e.g. TaxiÐermy, the name will switch to Taxiðermy. The alt+0208 code is changing to alt+0240 as soon as the character is created. Furthermore, if you try and create a new character using either the 0208 or 0240 code (TaxiÐermy or Taxiðermy), the game tells you that they are both unavailable.
Is this a bug, or working as intended for some reason unbeknownst to me?
Does make it interesting to see other characters who have no idea how their names are pronounced. Like Ð is “th”, so Taxithermy sounds like you’re lisping. My fave is ß – is German “SS”, yeah, like their nasty guys in WW II. So you see some character named “Aßsolute” or something, Asssolute doesn’t sound so cool.
