Thanks Eluvatar! If we could have that code used instead of the other one that would be great.

The Taijitu World Factbook Entry has been updated to bring it in line with this legislation.

Based on the above screenshot I assumed this symbol would work: ☯

It does not. NationStates attempt to translate the character in a funky manner every time.

For now I have removed "☯ " from the WFE so it doesn't appear broken. If anyone would like to reopen discussion/voting on this matter due to the unexpected change, please start a new topic.
