since these worlds were forced into owot there are things that you just can't do with them


===you <u>can't</u>===
==Downsides of these worlds==
Since these worlds were forced into OWoT, their functionality is limited.


*making sub worlds with them
===You <u>can not</u>===
*accessing them though URL e.g. https://ourworldoftext.com/brainf**k (you actually can as of 02.01.2026)
*accessing them though world links on canvas


also due to the fact that the only way to get to these worlds is though the warp command e.g. /warp & you can't use your owner tools on these worlds such as protecting areas unless you /warped from a world where you have such tools like your own world
*Make subworlds of them, as the special characters are not allowed in the input field.

Special character worlds or invalid character worlds are worlds which contain invalid/forbidden characters being any character that is not standard a-z A-Z 0-9 . _ -

Despite such worlds being nearly impossible to claim there have been 3 cases with 3 users that have obtained a world with invalid characters

Users who obtained such worlds

e_g.:

The first user who got one of these worlds was e_g. She was asking on discord if any user has the world /brainfuck if they could unclaim the world, the next day FP asked e_g if she wanted the the world /brainf**k with the asterisks and she accepted, she then received the world in her account making it the first invalid character world.

tap20:

After seeing /brainf**k, tap20 asked FP for the world /* and he got it, making it the second world with forbidden characters in its name.

Scar32:

Scar32 was a bit jealous seeing FP casually give /brainf**k to e_g. Because of that he jokingly(?) said on the discord that it wasn't a good idea for FP to give a user these kinds of worlds because they would just ask him for one. Immediately afterwards, he asked for one of these worlds. FP didn't respond. After hearing that another one of these worlds was created /*, his jealousy increased and he thought about who made that world. He wondered if FP added * to the list of valid characters for worlds and someone claimed /*, but he tested that theory and it didn't work. Afterwards, he found out that the owner of the world /* was tap20. At first, he denied all claims that he asked FP for a world with forbidden special characters, although it was pretty obvious that it wasn't random chance. After that, Scar32 DMed FP for a couple of special character worlds: /A&W, /& and /Pokémon. FP declined Scar32 saying it was a "one off case" but after mentioning tap20's world FP decided to give him one of the three and scar chose /& because it was his favourite character, this was the last documented special character world that was made and the last single letter world to be claimed.

Scar32 got food from A&W that day.

Downsides of these worlds

Since these worlds were forced into OWoT, their functionality is limited.

You can not

  • Make subworlds of them, as the special characters are not allowed in the input field.
