%-number variable problems
When I try to name a variable something such as %360 (which is what I discovered the problem on) or %2, the variable shows up as (☐60) (in the case of %360) or (☐) (in the case of %2). I have not created any blocks using the scratch source code. Does anybody know what this is?

WE don't know what it is, but this has been reported
Dear Scratch Users,
I'm done with scratch, or at least making projects. I have made one last big game, thats both fun and teaches a lesson about water. It'd mean a lot if you gave me feedback. http://scratch.mit.edu/projects/bosox397/569201

Thanks! I think it might have been a thing the scratch team tried out before Scratch 1.3 came out, then forgot to completely remove...

I'm using 1.3. Should I upgrade?

Yeah, you should upgrade to 1.3.1. The problem is that Squeak (the underlying mechanism of Scratch) thinks that, as %3 is the code for some strange character, you're trying to write that character and then write 60. To the computer, it might as well be that you typed g60.

Re: %-number variable problems
I got this glitch too!
Also, I made a similar thread, where you could post which blocks you had encountered through these glitches!
