These punctuation marks have been tested on both Mac and PC. Although they all work on both, for Mac we recommend copying text for Personality Tags into Digital DNA from a plain text editor to ensure invisible characters are removed, instead of copying and pasting from other sources.
Personality Tags have been tested on Digital People running:
Human OS 1.7
Human OS 2.0
Human OS 2.1
IMPORTANT: When creating a personality tag you need to match the word or phrase in your corpus, including supported punctuation, to the word or phrase included in the tag. This means if you have the phrase I don’t, do you in your corpus, then I don’t, do you needs to be in your tag; not I dont do you.
In the tags, you may use:
Commas e.g. “Thanks, mate” and “ thanks,”
Full stops at the end of words e.g. “end.”
Quote marks e.g. “some say”
Single quotation marks e.g. “someday ‘soon’ “
Apostrophes e.g. “don’t”

Question marks e.g. “who?”
