There is only one unicode skull and crossbones, and it's this one:   ☠️

Be aware though, that some special characters will break your display name completely, either you'll get an "invalid character" error, or it will display just a square box. And you'll be stuck for a week, with your options only to leave it broke, or revert to your username.

Best plan is to test it first on an alt you rarely use.

An O for skull and an X for the bones? ^^

Someone maybe knows, if UTF8 is used also on apple computers? While i see the UTF pepper pod, i used for my display name, a friend just sees an empty square instead.

there seems to be quite some difference in fonts installed on world wide machines, many appear for me also as squares.

Display name is supposed to be a readable name, not a collection of weird characters.
So, please don't "decorate" your display name with any unreadable/unpronounceable Unicode characters.
It's not cool, it does not look nice. Just use the normal readable characters. Thank you very much. 🙂
