Default desperate times for server names

when I connect to the server list at login I notice some servers love to take desperate measures of adding those little characters to the server name to keep them on top. do ya really need to do that to attract players?

Uhh. I do it so people can easily find the server.

How are they desperate measures when it's alt code.

I don't see his server with a population of 50, even after a migration to a new host.
