 However, [[Atlas_Manual|Atlas]] [https://trac.wildfiregames.com/ticket/4936 does not support Unicode], so English strings of map files (e.g. anything under `binaries/data/mods/public/maps/`) should not contain Unicode characters for the time being. But you should avoid using combinations of ASCII characters to try and reproduce Unicode characters as well. Be creative, try to rephrase the content in question so that Unicode characters are not necessary.
