Symbols and special characters in Steam

Test in Steam before you confirm

Read the counter on the rename screen before you confirm.

This is not a certified “accepted in every build” list. Copy, paste, watch the field. A box on a friend’s phone is their font.

1. In Steam, change the profile name, not the account login.
2. Paste once. Do not confirm yet. Watch the field for two seconds.
3. Letters vanish, the field shakes, or Confirm stays off: that client refused the script. Do not pay. Walk the fallback list below.
4. If the letters stay, read the counter, then confirm once. Check the Steam lobby list and a friend’s phone before another rename.
5. A box on someone else’s screen is their font. An empty slot after save means the filter stripped the letters after Confirm.

If the symbol tofu or vanishes

1. Drop to ★ ☆ ♡ first. They sit in more fonts than the fancy stars.
2. Then ツ 々 メ around the latin stub. Smaller ask than a string of emoji.
3. Still refused: latin only, or a Hangul Filler gap on the blank page.

Questions

Which symbols does Steam accept?

You see that in the rename field, not in a grid. Paste one, wait. If Confirm lights up and the mark stays, this client kept it. We do not invent an acceptance table.
