The user uses the Wii Message Board address book feature to register the friend information to the console's friend roster. The following is a list of codes that can be used in the address book for entering nicknames (name) within the friend information (NWC24FriendAttr).
If the application is to display information from the console's friend roster, prepare the fonts for these characters, if possible, so that they will display accurately. In addition, choose an appropriate character other than a blank space (such as a question mark) to display characters that cannot be displayed normally, or use characters that are similar, particularly for European alphabets. (Do not use substitute characters that would change the meaning of the text.)
