Ascii symbols and warcraft 3

[The_Silent]

Is it possible to use ascii symbols in wc3, specifically floating text in my case.
I have a custom resource called "Energy", and instead of writing "+5 Energy" with floating text, "+5" would be more aesthetically pleasing.

(Unicode character inspector: )

That's Unicode symbol. IIRC WC3 uses ANSI code page of the user's system. And even if it could resolve the UTF code point, the game's font couldn't represent it.

Edit: Maybe @Dr Super Good knows better.

You can't. You can only use ANSI characters.

The glyphs that WC3 can draw depends entirely on the font, which differs depending on the language installed. WC3 does support unicode to an extent, but it can only render the characters which are supported by the font. If you want to see which characters you can print, you can extract the font file from the game files using CascViewer, and use windows' Character Map utility to view all the glyphs in the font.
