AG doesn't recognize certain symbols, just the ones you'll find on a basic QWERTY keyboard.

The same goes for the font used in Microsoft Word and certain other programs. It does recognize Wordpad symbols though. Were you using Word to write that?

Oh, well there's your problem. The comments can't recognize those symbols that you made with the alt key.

Just use hyphens, yeah.

I use mac, has nothing to do with mac. Just Armorgames is simplistic in the fact that you need to rely on the basics when regarding keyboards.

Armor Games only accepts the printable ASCII symbols. (The bullet not being one of them.)

For now, just stick with hyphen-minus or tilde.

I honestly thought this thread was about being shot when I first saw the title.

Klaushouse: In no way was I implying that this had nothing to do with Mac, I was simply stating the fact that I had been using my browser, and that on Mac you press alt+8 to get bullets. - Although thank you.

Gantic: Thank you for answering my question. I hope you have a good weekend.
