.Symbols used to group part of a title or artist must include surrounding spaces. For example, Song★Title★
becomes Song ★Title★
.
The following Unicode Symbol subsets should have leading and trailing spaces when they can be romanised:
This does not apply if the artist purposefully uses symbols in ways that do not suggest spaces. For example, 。✰302?ionwan2go✰。
would be .*302?ionwan2go*.
and not . * 302 ? ionwan2go * .
. Other character sets are handled on a case-by-case basis.
In romanised fields, special symbols must be changed to their nearest ASCII printable equivalent or removed. Special characters other than the ones below are to be changed or dropped on a case-by-case basis. When multiple options exist, the one used for romanisation depends on context.
Symbol | Recommended Romanisation |
