Chat

Chat strings are subject to myriad limitations imposed by defects in the Notchian server and client, and also have special meanings for certain characters.

Character Set

The following list of characters is known to be supported by the Notchian server:

"#$%&'()*+,-./0123456789:;<=>?@ABCDEFGHIJKLMNOPQRSTUVWXYZ[\\]^_'abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyz{|}~⌂ÇüéâäàåçêëèïîìÄÅÉæÆôöòûùÿÖÜø£Ø׃áíóúñѪº¿®¬½¼¡«»"

Characters not in this list will cause Notchian servers to kick clients, and Notchian clients to choke and die horribly.

Colors

The Notchian client has support for colorized text. To select a color, a color escape code, similar to an ANSI color escape code, is inserted to change the color of the following characters.

Character	Color
0	Black
1	Dark blue
2	Dark green
3	Dark cyan
4	Dark red
5	Dark magenta
6	Dark orange
7	Gray
8	Dark gray
9	Blue
a	Green
b	Cyan
c	Red
d	Magenta
e	Yellow
f	White

These correspond very roughly to the colors available in ANSI terminals.
