For strange characters in balloon, using misaka.dll, you need special writing in script: Balloon Script ä \&[auml] ö \&[ouml] ü \&[uuml] Ä \&[Auml] Ö \&[Ouml] Ü \&[Uuml] ß \&[szlig] more characters (choice): è \&[egrave] é \&[eacute] ê \&[ecirc] Å \&[Aring] Æ \&[AElig] Ø \&[Oslash] ñ \&[ntilde] ç \&[ccedil] š \&[scaron] some special signs: « \&[laquo] » \&[raquo] × \&[times] √ \&[radic] ∇ \&[nabla] ♥ \&[hearts] † \&[dagger] • \&[bull] You can't use in menu, because double time brackets don't work. Sorry, can't be helped. Then I couldn't find the writing for ♪ Sorry again. P.S. This will work for SSP, I think it may not work necessarily for Mac apps and Ninix!
