Arrow (→) in thread name doesn't work!

The → symbol looks different when naming a thread. :<
EDIT: Strange...it only does this on one computer when it's bolded!  hmm

9?  hmm  It's an arrow. I also found it works on my grandparents' computer.

Ah... that happens to some computers, your computer cannot see the symbol which looks like --> so it replaces it with a 9, that happened with a symbol once on my comp.


If you are reading this, please read to the end, because if you don't you won't know what's at the end. Don't just skip to the end though otherwise you won't be able to read the middle, which is most important. Now you must be wondering why you just read all that, the reason is you may have not noticed something, read it again and see if you notice it this time  smile

Maybe you need to update the fonts on your computer?


I'm taking a break from Scratch until 2.0 comes out. Any messages sent between then and now probably won't be read - sorry.

On one computer it's totally fine, but on the new epic one it appears as "  >"

Well, it was a stretched 9. A really bulbous one. Anyhow, I've switched computers and it now shows up as an arrow.
