Old Skool Xbox Live Customisation

On the eve of the biggest Xbox dashboard update ever, i.e the New Xbox Experience , I thought i’d have a go at trying to put through some non-standard looking characters to see if you can customise your Xbox Live Motto etc. This isn’t that difficult as you modify your profile through the browser using www.xbox.com and therefore you can cut and paste all variety of odd characters you find.

I tried out quite a few, basically there’s no real pattern to it, some characters work and others don’t, below is a selection of characters  that definitly work, however there’s loads more that probabley will as well.

An Example:

Note: I haven’t tried to view my mottor through an Xbox console since making these changes, so I have no idea how or if they can be viewed correctly through the dashboard, however I can’t see why they couldn’t be.
