Sometimes you want to use a "​*" or "​^" in your

 Language Support
Cheato​graphy supports all languages, as best
we can manage.
This means that the web versions of cheat
sheets support all of the languages we've seen
so far, including Chinese and Japanese.
We're working on right-​to-left language
support.

Avoid "​revenge rating​s". If you receive a low
rating, bear in mind that not everyone will find
your cheat sheets as useful as you do!
Feel free to leave a shout for another user to
ask for more inform​ation about why they left the
rating they did.
