While I realize they aren’t “text” as you say there are instances when game symbols appear within text-fitting areas. For example, when you list items out in your inventory, if it’s a faction, t2, or otherwise special item the first part is the symbol that represents it.
I’m simply curious is if there is a mechanic or command, like typing {shipsymbol=1234} or something that could insert the standard ship class symbol into text area. If no one has heard of this maybe I can add it to the suggestions? Certainly it could come in handy not only for my obsessive organizational quirks but for dispensing information out about the symbols themselves?
