Some of the special characters aren't on the keyboard. For instance, my name has an alien head in front of it, but there are 2 alien heads, and the ctrl+r alien head isn't it. I can't find the other alien head. And I played with a guy that uses the digital "B"(the one that looks like an 8") at the beginning of his name, but I can't figure out how to type that character either.

There is an undocumented feature but it's unfortunately broken in terms of utf8 support at the moment. Here's a bug I filed about it: http://dev.xonotic.org/issues/1175

The feature works like this:
Code:
menu_cmd red <command> <markup text>

The <command> is any command, and the <markup text> is regular text that can be spiced up with these markup codes:
Code:
&alien  &:-)  &:-(     &x-P  &:-/     &:-D  &<<      &>>
&dot    &^_   &ysplat  &-]   &--      &[-   &s<      &s>
&<-     &[=   &==      &=]   &r!      &|o|  &|u|     &|i|
&|c|    &[c]  &[n]     &[]   &r?      &|>   &splat0  &splat1
&[[     &]]   &splat2  &)(   &splat3  &(.   &..      &.)
&<|
for special symbols (and && for a regular &) and
Code:
&n      &a    &d
for normal / bold caps / digital caps formatting.
So one could for example say something in digital by using this command
Code:
menu_cmd red say &dhello, what's up &:-)

But that feature is currently broken with utf enabled.

I am not aware of a second alien head in the original character set, you probably saw a unicode character. Was this it? http://www.fileformat.info/info/unicode/.../index.htm
