So I write my hero ideas on a separate program, like Microsoft word or whatever, and then I copy and paste it into Dotafire these weird symbols appear, usually in place of other symbols, like " or '.
Here is an example of them ������

Just wondering what this is lol, not a big deal, but still.

Not sure either, it usually happens if you copy paste some sort of code, or use quotation marks.

AFAIK Microsoft Word uses special symbols for text formatting to expands Word's possibilities(it can effectively store links which you can activate via ctrl+click, has wide selection of colors, fonts etc.) so you may have used some advanced formatting or just a feature that Word has but this site hasn't like tabulation or charts.

I am not sure about it, I may be wrong on this one.

Just a bug we've been trying to fix for a while.. seems like it's back, will try to sort it out again.

Till then, you'll have to fix those errors when you copy paste.
Message me if you'd like to join our official Discord server!

Use Notepad, that never leaves any weird symbols for me.
