Android market text format

Question

I saw some special characters used by developers in the description of their apps. How do I do that (for example show a star icon instead of *)?

Also - is it possible to show bold\italic\underlined text in the market description?

Answer 1

Just copy paste the star character into your text (it is an unicode char) and you'll be set to go.

★ <-- copy paste this

Also I noticed it supports <b> tags, which is pretty useful.

Answer 2

I don't specifically what you are rerfering to. But I would imagine that you can copy any character out of character map(on windows) and paste into the description of your app on the developer console.
