## Character Limit Rules for PUBG Mobile & BGMI

PUBG Mobile and Battlegrounds Mobile India (BGMI) cap player handles at 14 characters. The game client runs on Unreal Engine 4, which renders standard Unicode text but counts multi-byte symbols differently from plain Latin letters.

| Symbol Category | Example Characters | Effective Character Weight | Notes |
| :--- | :--- | :--- | :--- |
| **Standard Latin** | `A-Z`, `a-z`, `0-9` | 1 char each | Safe for full 14-letter names |
| **Japanese Katakana** | `ツ` (tsu), `么` (yao), `〆` (shime) | 1 to 2 chars | Renders cleanly in kill feeds and lobbies |
| **Repetition Mark** | `々` (noma) | 1 char | Common in competitive team tags like `SOUL々` |
| **Sniper Frames** | `▄︻̷̿┻̿═━一` | 8 to 10 chars | Leaves room for only 3–5 letters for the base handle |
| **Royal Coronet** | `亗` | 1 char | Popular as bookends around four-letter names |
| **Angle Brackets** | `★彡[...]彡★` | 6 chars | Requires core name to stay under 8 characters |

## How to Fit Decorative Frames Within the 14-Character Quota

Players often paste elaborate weapon art or wings into the rename box only to receive an error: *"Name is too long."* 

To use an AWM sniper rifle frame (`▄︻̷̿┻̿═━一`), your nickname must stay between 3 and 5 letters. For example, `AWM ▄︻̷̿┻̿═━一` uses exactly 12 characters and passes inspection, while `SNIPERGOD ▄︻̷̿┻̿═━一` exceeds 17 characters and gets rejected.

If your core name is 8 to 10 characters long, use single-glyph terminal accents instead of surrounding frames:
- `MORTALツ` (7 characters)
- `SOUL々VIPER` (10 characters)
- `亗REAPER亗` (8 characters)
- `GHOST〆` (6 characters)

## Step-by-Step: Changing Your IGN Without Wasting 180 UC

1. **Check Your Inventory:** Tap the **Inventory** crate icon in the bottom menu. Navigate to the lowest tab (the box/crate icon).
2. **Locate the Rename Card:** Look for the white card marked **ID**. Tap **Use**.
3. **Paste Your Styled Handle:** Paste your copied text from the ognamegenerator PUBG generator directly into the text field.
4. **Verify the Character Counter:** If the text cuts off before your closing symbol, shorten the base letters.
5. **Confirm and Save:** Tap **OK**. Your handle updates immediately on team rosters, leaderboards, and kill feeds.

If you do not own a Rename Card, you can earn one free by completing Progress Missions up to Level 10, or purchase one in the in-game shop for 180 UC.
