How to put special characters in Fortnite name
To put special characters in your Fortnite name, you need to copy and paste them in.

You can find databases of special characters on websites such as Wikipedia if you look for different written languages, for example. Once you have found the special characters you wish to add to your Fortnite name, simply copy and paste them in on the Epic Games website.
Follow these steps to find out how to put special characters in Fortnite name:
