How to insert ASCII Codes into your social hotkeys

First you will want to open your INI file for the character that you want to place the text with. Go to your EQ directory and search for the file _.ini and open it for editing. Now scroll down until you find the
section labeled . Here you will find all of the hotkeys you currently have for that character. They are listed in the following format:

Page3Button1Name=Pulling
Page3Button1Color=0
Page3Button1Line1=/G Whistles a little tune ♪♫♫♪♪♫♫♫♪ hey %t doesnt like my song lets kill it

As you can see I have given you an attack key as an example. The first line represents the name of the key, the second is the color of the text, and the third is the content within the key itself, as you add more lines it simply adds
another line and numbers that line below the next.

Keep this open and search for the file character map and open it. You will be able to copy and paste the desired symbol from this little utilility directly by double-clicking the icon, then clicking the copy button once it is
highlighted. Then simply go back to you INI file and paste using the copied ASCII code into your hotkey text.

Now, in order to save your changes you must save the file in a format that supports ASCII codes. To make this more simple, before you decide to close the file click "File" on the menu bar and go to "Save as". Locate the bottom scroll
down menu labeled "Encoding" and choose "UTF-8". Now click save. Click yes again at the next part as well.

All done, and when you log into EQ to play the game the hotkey will be modified and the characters you pasted into it will show once you use the hotkey. Unfortunately, there is currently no info readily available on doing this at will
