Thread: Adding chat symbols to pi client?

When your client pack your text into bytes to be sent to server, it exclude bytes of unknown characters, the server does the same when receiving the data(If you unpack it before send to everyone).

Thanks for the hint but i found out TextInput.processText(inputString) is what i needed. I added a few symbols except for |{}_~ and i wanted those too. Also it doesnt show up in the chat box except for a couple. And for the hint i was expecting something like "Its in the TextInput class" or something like that

EDIT: I FOUND IT!!!!!!
it has something to do with this:
if (j >= 32 && j <= 122 && inputString.length() < 80) {
inputString += (char) j;
inputTaken = true;
}
j >= 32 && j <= 122 is the char id's you can type! thanks now i can have some fun with this
