  Anglo-Saxon? Lmao what a bizarre way to talk. Not that it even makes sense considering Anglo-Saxon settlers in the US weren’t even close to being the majority.

  It’s down to unicode support. Not a plot from Anglo-Saxons to keep others in their place lol

    To be fair, not considering unicode support a priority is a pretty damn English-language-centric attitude.

      Arguably. Or it’s just what the dev team was used to. Or a bunch of other explanations.

      I just don’t find “a historic Germanic group of settler’s that immigrated to medieval Britain are purposely neglecting unicode support as a means to suppress people that aren’t part of their group.”

      Bizarre conspiracy theory from a one day old account.
