JSON text editing tips

Full description of (very simple) JSON format can be found here, below there are a few tips most relevant to editing this repository.

Non-ASCII symbols

When symbols outside the regular ASCII range are needed, UTF-8 symbols come in play. These need to be escaped using \u<4 letter hexcode>.

To get the 4-letter hexcode of a UTF-8 symbol (or look up what a particular hexcode represents), you can use a UTF-8 converter, such as this online tool.

Quotes and breaking text into multiple lines

To have quotes as part of the text, use \". For example, "flavor": "\"If you only knew the power of the dark side.\"" results in following flavor text:

"If you only knew the power of the dark side."

SW:CCG symbols

These can be used in a card's text section.

• [unique]
• [restricted]
• [maintain]
• [recycle]
• [sacrifice]
