Language Icon Placeholder Tags

Certain font glyphs translate into the games icons in dialog boxes. The images below represent which each one corresponds to.
Because these are harder to type than standard characters, placeholder tags can also be used in place of the glyphs. These tags ONLY work when used in the language files (ex: eng.lng and dialog_eng.lng).
Note that it doesn't look like there is a character for TRADE12, it just doesn't show up and doesn't even occupy a single space. I placed it between two parenthesis so it can be copy and pasted, the parenthesis need to be manually removed after.
The tags are as follows:
| Tag | Character | Description |
|---|---|---|
| [NAME] | <none> | Player name |
| [TRADE0] | ¯ | Trade - Yoshi Doll |
| [TRADE1] | ¢ | Trade - Ribbon |
| [TRADE2] | £ | Trade - Dog Food |
| [TRADE3] | ¤ | Trade - Bananas |
| [TRADE4] | ¥ | Trade - Stick |
| [TRADE5] | ¦ | Trade - Honeycomb |
| [TRADE6] | § | Trade - Pineapple |
| [TRADE7] | ¨ | Trade - Hibiscus |
| [TRADE8] | © | Trade - Letter |
| [TRADE9] | ª | Trade - Broom |
| [TRADE10] | « | Trade - Fishing Hook |
| [TRADE11] | ¬ | Trade - Necklace / Pink Bra |
| [TRADE12] | () | Trade - Mermaid Scale (Invisible Character) |
| [TRADE13] | ® | Trade - Magnifying Lens |
| [LEFT] | ° | Arrow Left |
| [RIGHT] | ± | Arrow Right |
| [DOWN] | ² | Arrow Down |
| [UP] | ³ | Arrow Up |
| [DPAD] | ´ | D-Pad |
| [SKULL] | µ | Master Stalfos (Level 5) |
| [MARIN] | ¶ | Marin Portrait (Walrus) |
| [LINK] | · | Link Portrait (Walrus) |
Example Usage:
trade0 You traded your [TRADE0] for [TRADE1]! Maybe you can trade the ribbon for something else!
trade1 You exchanged [TRADE1] for [TRADE2]! It's full of juicy beef!
trade2 You gave him [TRADE2] and got bananas [TRADE3] in return! Good deal!
marin_2_0 Oh, [NAME], I'm glad you found this place. Will you stay and talk to me for a while?
