WoW ASCII Table

Below is a table of special characters in World of Warcraft. Can’t find any table like this online so I created my own. To use these hold down ALT and type the number on the number pad (numpad). If that doesn’t work, try toggling your num lock. With a mac keyboard on Windows, clear is the same as numpad, try hitting it 1, 2 or 3 times. Sometimes Windows freaks out with the mac num lock.

There are some special characters listed above. The term [space] means one character of white space (what is created with the space bar). There is another character I ran into that is some kind of null character. It doesn’t show up as white space but it can be deleted with backspace. It is a character but it’s not visible. So see what I mean by ‘null character’:

1. Type a letter “A”
2. Then type two of these null characters
3. Now you have a single “A” on a line. You’d expect to delete the “A” with the backspace
4. Hit backspace once and the A is not deleted
5. You just deleted a null character and you have to hit backspace two more times to get rid of the A

I’m guessing that it’s a null character of some type, so I represent it as [null?] until I discover what it is. All the codes seem to loop at 290. But seems to cut out from 255-289 (not used).
