All Answers on facebook symbols problems
What's this about?To use - just copy-paste symbols that you like.
Right-to-leftNotice that there are some right-to-left written symbols here, and if you put them - characters you put after them may appear before them. Tricky ones ^.^
Some facebook symbols may not appear on some browsers/systems. They may show up as squares (boxes), or ?'s.
On my system I found Firefox and Opera displaying most symbols, Safari showing (only a bit) smaller number of symbols, Chrome even less and Internet Explorer on Windows less than 7.. entirely out-of-the-league. If you have XP, or less, I guess you should get Chrome, or Firefox.
"Combos"
Also, strangely, it seems like some symbols can form "combos" (like in video games) =) and don't work if you put them one after another. So if you see some of your symbols turning into squares after you have put some new symbol into the input field - that might be a problem. To solve it just press "Ctrl" + "Z" and don't put these troublemaker symbols. Or put them in a first place, or well, it looks like they work if you put them in separate lines.Example
Doesn't work right:"ૅ.ે =➚"
Works right:
"ૅ.ે
=➚"
Remember, that you may not see all the symbols anyway, and that's okay. Though, if you won't see A LOT of them - you'll have to get another system or take a look at the next answer.
You are experiencing problems with symbols not showing up? You should better take a look at Alt Codes, or Keyboard symbols if you're running OS other than Windows. Those are ASCII symbols. They work on absolutely all systems.
Alt keyboard codes?You can input ASCII symbols right from your keyboard. Do this using Alt Codes. In this way you can write a part of facebook symbols that is visible on any system. You can make ASCII art using these characters.
Big font on Facebook?It seems like there is no way to style your text in facebook profile. Seems that you won't be able to make your text symbols bigger on facebook. Neither to paint them with the color you want. Maybe in notes or something..
On this website I make them larger using CSS and HTML's "span" and "large" tags.
You can make symbols bigger on MySpace in the same way. If you run a blog - you can enlarge them in your WYSIWYG editor there.
We could do this several years ago, but then we couldn't do that any more, and looks like recently they decided to put that option back again. Read my Change Facebook name ت to add symbols, or fully hide FB names.
If you want to post facebook symbols to your html-based website you may need to Enty tool - Escape special HTML / JavaScript character entities. You may not need it, if you are just running a blog, or something that uses some "engine". But if you have an html site that you edit in text editors then use my tool. If you're posting symbols to your website, it would be great, if you'd credit me with a link, but that's you choice. ≧^◡^≦
Save symbols locally?Right-click on the page with symbols and choose "Save as..." and then choose a place where you want to save them.
