Habitat Sign Escape and Graphical Character Codes - frandallfarmer/neohabitat GitHub Wiki

These are the character escape codes that you may use in an ASCII byte array to represent non-printing characters and Habitat sign formatting symbols:

As an example, lets say your original text is represented as this in your griddle file where you'll encounter these escape characters:

• GRI text: "\hOrder\h of the \hHoly\h \hWalnut "
• is the same as: "\x85Order\x85 of the \x85Holy\x85 \x85Walnut "

Strings are messy in JSON and Java, so we've got a special attribute name for these bytes on signs: "ascii":[bytes], so the same sign text is stored in the database as:

• "ascii":[133,79,114,100,101,114,133,32,111,102,32,116,104,101,32,133,72,111,108,121,133,32,133,87,97,108,110,117,116]
• NOTE: RDL files already represent the sign text as byte codes and can be used as they appear in the file.
  • No need to decode them using this table.
