AI Thread Summary
Creating a username with unusual characters can be achieved using alt codes on Windows. Users can access the Character Map by navigating to Start > All Programs > Accessories > System Tools, where they can select and copy desired characters. However, using a 'bar' or strikethrough effect in a username is not advisable, as it typically signifies that a user is no longer a member of the platform, either due to a ban or voluntary termination of their account. Therefore, incorporating such a feature into a username is not recommended.

Fall colors are here, no mosquitos, no deer flies, and mild temperature, so my morning run was unusually nice. Only two meetings today, and both went well.
