Preliminary information
Prima di enter the dettaglio della procedura su how to put special characters on Fortnite, I think you might be interested in learning more about this possibility.
Well, you should know that the title of Epic Games, by default, does not support special characters: this means that, for example, it is not possible to insert an emoji inside your nickname. However, there is a "makeup" which allows you to bypass the obstacle.
What am I referring to? To gods Japanese characters that look a lot like the special ones that are often used in Western writing and that, if used properly, allow you to create "smilies" and other funny compositions.
In short, it is possible to use Japanese symbols katakana e hiragana and, with a little imagination and good taste, insert them into your own nickname di Fortnite as special characters. For all the details of the case, read on.
How to put special characters on Fortnite
After explaining the situation to you, I would say that you are ready to take action and change your nickname in Fortnite. Below you will find all the appropriate instructions, whether you want to do this from a computer or a mobile device.
computer
The simplest method, as well as the one I recommend, to insert special characters in the Fortnite nickname is to use a computer and go through a browser for online browsing, such as Google Chrome.
To proceed, therefore connected to the official Epic Games portal, click on the button ACCESS NOW, in the upper right, and execute the login to your account. You can also log in with other types of accounts, such as Facebook, Google, PlayStation Network and Xbox Live.

The Epic Games website will remind you that you can only make this type of change once every 2 weeks. Therefore, I advise you to think about it before confirming the nickname, since then you will have to keep it for a while.
In any case, now the "highlight" has arrived, that is the choice of the new nickname, with the related search for Special characters to be inserted inside. To find the latter, I recommend connecting to a portal that allows you to quickly browse and copy Japanese characters, for example WordDive, and more precisely its pages dedicated to Katakana symbols and Hiragana symbols.
From these you can copy various interesting symbols. For example, if you are looking for a smiley face, you might think about using the Tsu symbol Tsu (katakana), while, if you are interested in some sort of X, you might be interested in the character Me Me (katakana). There is also a sort of triangle, or the symbol Mu Mu (katakana), and the E characters are not to be underestimated Eh (katakana) e Ku Ku (hiragana).
You can, therefore, add this type of characters to your nickname, giving life to original names and different from those usually seen on Fortnite (eg. Mu Salvatore). I don't think there are any problems in this regard, but if in doubt you can follow my guide on how to copy and paste.
Therefore, type the nickname that you have chosen in the box SET DISPLAY NAME and enter it again in the box CONFIRM DISPLAYED NAME. Then check the box I am aware that I cannot change my name again for 2 weeks following this change and fai clic sul tasto CONFIRMATION. This way, you will see that your nickname will be correctly updated without any problems.
