I've seen people online using special characters like omega and the pound sign... how do you do this?

Heyyo,

Just like any word processor, use your ALT and numpad number combos when typing your name. ;)

Here's a few french character examples:

ç = ALT 0231
è = ALT 0232
é = ALT 0233

There's a program that comes with windows XP (dunno for others..) it's called the "character map." To use it, go to: Start > All Programs > Accessories > System Tools > Character Map

The combos are found at the bottom-right corner of the Character Map window. :)

I tried that. I'm starting clan [Ω], which is unicode #03A9. Alt 03A9 doesn't work in Halo.

Heyyo,

I said bottom-right corner dude... the omega symbol doesn't have a number combo. what you see in the bottom-left is the code the computer uses to identify that unicode. You can try putting it straight into your profile which should be in your my documents folder, and wherever it stores your halo profiles in there. :p
