No. All Plus!-shortcuts will produce an ascii character that will show up if your contact doesn't have the Plus! addon or isn't using a client that happens to support IRC-style ascii codes for formatting text.
at first: thanks again CookieRevised!
but i don't mean plus!-shortcuts. i mean ascii signs that do not get deletet by plus! but by messenger or because ... well some other reason
because the font you use does not include this sign... or will it show up as a rectangluar then?
i found this sign: ; (unicode u+037E)
it looks like a semicolon but it's not - it's called "greek question mark" (in german at least, this is what window's character map says...) you can read about it in wikipedia if you are interested, you then get forwarded to the semicolon page, but there is also a section about the "greek question mark"
oh well as you can see it doesn't work here in the forum... but it works for msn... but i haven't tested it for msn withouth plus!...
i tested for trillian though, it does not work there...
i also found
׃
(unicode u+05c3) which is a hebrew sign. i found this too in window's characpter map. but this sign may cause some trouble for hebrew is written and read from right to left...
hm. i'm still searching for better solutions. any suggestion is very welcome!
