<p>In Germany the Umlaute Ä Ö Ü are common letters and used in alot a lot of names / words. That's the reason why you were able to create characters with these letters. It was also possible to use , . - ' and even ß.</p><p>I am not sure when exactly they removed that but around 2003 (Update 7.2) <a rel="nofollow" href="https://www.reddit.com/r/TibiaMMO/comments/djzhpm/the_most_unique_name_with_sign/">commas and other signs were removed</a> **. The reason for that is mostly because they have problems with the URL. For example, if you open the URL for the character Kolskägg in the Red Rose Guild https://www.tibia.com/community/?subtopic=guilds&amp;page=view&amp;GuildName=Red+Rose&amp;character=<span style="color:#e74c3c"><strong>Kolsk%E4gg</strong></span>&amp;action=characters. The URL can't show the letters this way. You see the % instead. I am not an IT specialist so I am not a 100% sure if this is the only reason. Another reason could be (in my eyes): players with a non german German keypad can't find the characters in game or on tibia.com.</p><p>** I checked all Characteres Characters which are given as an example in this thread and non of them is created after 2003.</p><p>BTW: If you see characters with ae, ue, oe in their name then it means the same like ä, ü and ö. Example: Kolskägg = Kolskaegg (bad example in this case because Kolskägg is not a German word ^^ But you get my point).</p>
