How to Put a Symbol in Your Facebook Name Without it Being Rejected
- 1). Click on the Windows "Start" button.
- 2). Type "Character Map" into the blank search field at the bottom of the menu.
- 3). Click on the "Character Map" icon from the results.
- 4). Click on the symbol you want to use. Punctuational accents are acceptable special symbols in certain cases on Facebook. However, the symbol must make sense phonetically, and it cannot be excessive. For example, you can replace a regular "u" with a "u" symbol containing an umlaut. This type of change is not automatically rejected, and it often passes additional screening by Facebook staff. As a general rule, you should only put a symbol in your name if your name actually calls for it.
- 5). Click "Select" and "Copy." A copy of the symbol is placed on your virtual clipboard.
- 6). Open your Internet browser.
- 7). Log into your Facebook account.
- 8). Click on the blue "Account" drop down box, then select the "Account Settings" option.
- 9). Click on the blue "Change" link above the "Your Name" heading.
