|---|---|---|
| Chats and DMs | Anything | Multi-line art pastes in unchanged. |
| Profiles and nicknames | One-line text | A nickname stays on screen for a long time, so plain characters are safer. |
| Game chat | Something short | If the box has a character limit, long spam gets cut off. |
| When | Why | What to do |
|---|---|---|
| Boxes show up only in the app you pasted into | That device has no font for the character | You cannot change the font there, so pick plain characters. |
| Looks different for each person | Memes borrow letters from other alphabets just for their shape | For anything important, pick text with only Hangul and emoji. |
