Community Rules

This comm is open to anyone to post codes, layouts, resources, tutorials, and requests for help and content. Of course, we do have some rules, so please read through them before jumping in; thank you!

Treat others the way you'd like to be treated. This is not a drama comm, and we expect you guys to be awesome and stay civil. If a situation gets out of hand, please contact a mod, and leave comments intact so we can accurately handle the situation.

Please tag your posts and check out the tagging guide if you have any questions!

■ Very long posts or posts formatted with your own div styling for organization should be behind a cut to save people's f-lists.

Work safe above the cut, please!

■ If posting codes, guides, etc. absolutely do not post content that you did not make. That's stealing, and it's super uncool, bro! If you are posting expanded/edited codes made by yourself using another user's coding as well, please be sure you have their permission (You do not need direct permission if they allow edits to be re-posted in their blanket rules.)
■ Do not post tutorials/links to tutorials that show people how to steal codes from other users. Again: Stealing. Not cool.
When asking for help with something, please check the help tags (help: coding, help: graphics, help: icons, help: layouts, help: other) first to see if your question has already been posted and answered to avoid duplicates.

We do not allow game ads to be posted on this comm since there are so many communities specifically for that already; if you're pimping a game as an addition to a regular post, that's fine. (OK: You post an RP code and mention in the post, oh hey, also I'm running this game! NOT OK: Posts dedicated to game promo.)

We do allow other types of community promos if they are related to RP (icon comms, other types of resource comms, etc.) Just shoot us a comment in our dropbox beforehand and we'll let you know if it's cool to post!

i've seen people using these really neat little alt code characters for layouts and such but whenever i want to view ones i'd like to use i just get numbers in a square box. can anyone explain to me how i could change that? for example i'd love to have an anchor symbol but all i keep getting is this -> ⚓ and for those who can see the anchor, all i get is 2693 in a box

it's quite possible that you don't have a font on your computer that supports the symbol.

they have a tool (you don't have to install anything) that you can run to see if any fonts on your machine can. if that's not it, i'm not sure how else to help, sorry.

oh, it's also possible that when you have seen it on other layouts, it's likely because they used a web font that shows up whether you have it on your computer or not (such as a google font).

so is there a way for me to get this font on my computer so it will work? tbh i've seen a lot of numbers in square boxes that i want to know what they are lol so if i could download the font(s) that would be awesome

download one of those fonts by searching google for it. there are likely other fonts that support the symbol too. visit font sites and in the preview font place put the anchor and see if you can find something you like.

i personally use segoe (from that list) but i don't know how i got it.

i'll give it a shot and see if something happens. if not i do appreciate your help. and btw i LOVE your layout it's so cute!

i've never run into the problem so i'm kind of coming at it in the only way i know how, haha. did you have any luck?

also, thank you.

i've tried the segoe fonts, some i already had, and none of them worked lol. i need to find some font sites and try it. i just wish i knew for sure what font would work so i could download it. i'd love to use the anchor but it hates me lol.

you're welcome. i wish i knew how to do coding cause i'd love a layout like that

I know for me I can see the 'font' on my iphone but I cant on my laptop, I just see the white box with 4 numbers in it and usually those are from the emojis app and someone has posted from their phone. That could be what it is for some of it.. though with layouts it could be an 'advanced' alt code which is all a matter of finding the right sequence of numbers.

that could be it but i can't figure out why i can see certain ones in chrome but not firefox. even after installing all the fonts a website said i would need to be able to use the alt i still end up getting this; à instead of the anchor. i try the same alt code in photoshop and i still get à so idk lol. it's frustrating :[
