[General] - New chat characters don't display as expected

Bug Submission:

Category: General
Issue Title: New chat characters don't display as expected
Issue Description: All the new characters display in the chat log, but they don't show up in the talker text over players' heads.

Percent signs are not showing up in either place, and bind with characters afterwards to produce substituted strings. I'm guessing there's a sprintf/gsub type thing somewhere that's eating them, as you can get different results from %s, %d, %f, etc., that look like strings, digits, and floats, respectively.
Steps to Reproduce: Make a server or join one.

Type new characters in chat -- "h~e^l#l:o", and observe the same string in chat and "h e l l o" above your head.

Type "%s - %d - %f" and see something like "L1ò - 0 - 0.000000".

 

Edit: I missed the part of the patch notes that reported the characters not showing up overhead. Shame on me x_x
