Hello,
I came across this symbol here, “•” while trying to create bullet points.
It only happens in the first line.
Has anybody else encountered this problem before?

As you navigate this bleak environment, you must make choices that define your path:
• Choose your attributes and hone your skills in order to conquer the wastelands.
• Become a hero of the settlements or use your power to take control over the remaining survivors.
• Unique combat and character generation ensure that no two games are the same.
• Fight wretched creatures, discover new technology, and recover ancient knowledge.
• Multiple endings with different storylines.

Can I suggest notepad++ instead of microsoft notepad if you want a notepad like emulator for coding? I find I get a lot less issues with it in general as its designed more for coding.
Have you copied the symbol text into the document? Sometimes that doesn’t play nice with choicescript especially if its been cut/paste out of a program like word with symbols.
Can you post the raw code here?
Sorry, I mean cut/ paste what you’ve actually written (not the output) as sometimes it can be little things that just mess up CS like an incorrect space or symbol.
Can use the preformatted text on the top bar to allow you to copy the code from notepad correctly into the forum.
I only wrote this in Notepad. I copied the bullets from from Word.

But when I run the game it comes out like this:

Even when I write with Notepad++ and save the file as “.txt”, this symbol "“•” " still persists.
Try copying or screenshotting the actual raw code, not how it looks in game. I have had a number of issues with special characters in word not translating across properly. The above doesn’t really help sorry as you have the translated bullet points so no way to see if there’s any differences that could be causing it. (Might not be the case here but common things happen commonly.)
