Hello. I saw some servers who have on the servername special characters like "★", but if i use it, my server load a "?". Anyone know how to use "special characters" ??

yep, firstly you need to save your server.cfg in a certain format. Which from memory is Unicode UTF-8. (its been a while since I've had to do it)

I personally like "edit pad pro" its a very powerful notepad as apposed to windows. It also contains a character map. There is a character map in most all windows Op Systems. (generally found in your start menu, accessories, system tools)

Attached is a server.cfg template you can use so you get the idea. Add your current server.cfg cvars to it under hostname " Ą§©įį ︻デ┳═– ☠" and save it to your server, keep a backup. You'll see the dif on reboot.

if you want the name to stay away from the direct left edge leave the spaces provided for you before it says ASCCI in the template. Ascci charactures take up more spaces than A-Z 1-0 so don't over do it or you'll see undesired results in your server name. Google Ascii, some ascii text will give you different results to others ( ➥ ➷ ✔ ☢ ☣ ▓▓▒░ ) you need to play a little, of course there is no color

The plugin way

#include <sourcemod>  
public OnMapStart()  
{  
    ServerCommand("hostname 

 YOUR SERVER NAME GOES HERE");  
}  
public Plugin:myinfo =
{
 name = "Autoexec Server Name",
 author = "GinXeng",
 description = "Exec Server name or some shit like that",
 version = SOURCEMOD_VERSION,
 url = "http://www.pcgametime.com"
};

Since hostname is a cvar, why wouldn't you just use the cvar commands to do it rather than executing it as a command?

No offense to the coders but games are already loaded enough with plugins, you only need to name the game in server.cfg plugin free and its accomplished. You're making a plug to manually add a server name for you? The only dificulty is saving as utf-8 and finding some ascii
