Symbols in pet names - sometimes show up, sometimes not? T__T;

Just a quick question, and wondering if there's a fix for this somewhere;

I named my baby pet with a ★ (star) symbol, and in game it WILL show up...but only from time to time, then turns back into a square or what looks like []
b:sad

Anyone know if there is a fix to this? Or are there just certain symbols that are glitchy with pet names?

And another noob question, can you name your pet more than once? Otherwise I'll just name him again without the symbol T__T;

    Just an update to this question, it's not just my pet name that comes up as [] or a little square, it's doing it on dropped gear and items too!

    So it's the star symbol that's not registering on my screen.
    Anyone else have this issue?
    It shows up fine in WC, bags, and whatnot...just not on the ground, or on my pet. It's weird!

    I think it has something to do with some language pack I guess

    Oh! It's working now, did the game verify and it must have fixed whatever was casing that error.

    Thank you Wolf b:cute

    @Edyn - you can find a symbol online and just copy and paste (or ctrl-c to copy symbol, ctrl-v to paste it in game)
    Or put on your NumLK, hold ALT and press a key on the numpad. When you release ALT a symbol should appear.
    ALT1 - ☺
    ALT2 - ☻
    ALT3 - ♥
    ALT4 - ♦
    ALT5 - ♣
    ALT6- ♠

    The star is a little tricky though, I ended up just copy + pasting it into game
    ALT 9733 (solid) ★
    ALT 9743 (open) ☆
    Whenever I tried the ALT code I just got ♣ ♠ xD

    Thanks again Wolf, my baby pet is happy having his star above him again *(^__^)*
