How can I type special characters like * or @ as the first word in the chat?

Question

The chat doesn't allow me to type certain special characters as the first word. Is there a workaround for this? I really love these symbols and I love to make the *-* face a lot.

Private Message: *charactername* <message> This is another way to contact players directly. There is also a way to send out one message at a time: @charactername@ <message>. This will send the message, and then clear the @...@ from your console. If the player you're messaging has a long name you can put a tilde in front of a part of his name. I'm going to message Fred of Secura, it might look something like this: *Fred o~* Hey Fred!

Okay, I found the way to do that :) Before you text something in your chat put - #s "text" After that you will be able to put @ or * as a first word.

That's a good extract explaining what the characters are used for, but it doesn't seem to mention if you can construct messages starting those characters
