“텟트 폿트” would probably have been better… (Test Post)

I was just seeing if it would show up on the message board. That’s neat that it does. It doesn’t work on others. And doesn’t work on [myspace.com](http://myspace.com)  
I have recently learned that although AIM wont handle it, yahoo messenger does!! woot  
^-^

Oh, you were going Koreanized English words. “test post” =\> “테스트 포스트” =\> “teseuteu poseuteu” is better. “텟트 폿트” =\> “tetteu potteu”; Korean changes the pronunciation of some letter based on position in the character block. The SDMB does have some nice foreign character capabilities.

Well, no. The SDMB doesn’t have anything to do with this. All the SDMB does is save the character codes we feed it and serve them out to the browsers that request the page. It’s the browsers that actually do all the work of interpreting the codes.
