List of Characters That Can Be Input in the Address Book

Introduction

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). The character filter file usable with NintendoWare for Revolution's fontcvtr is located in RevoEX/tools/wii_friend_name.xllt.

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. Furthermore, if a character string includes a character or characters that cannot be handled by any means, use the closest English character in the case of European letters, or use a suitable symbol other than a blank space (such as "?") as a substitute character in other cases. (Do not use substitute characters that would change the meaning of the text.)
