Special Characters in Page Titles ✤

[europort]

This will probably have already been asked, and i did a quick search and noticed bits and pieces about this, but would like to know the latest views on this practice.

Do people think you can be penalised for using special characters in page titles?

I hope you won't be penalised,as Google recognises some symbols which are ASCII standard.As per my knowledge the symbol you had used is "ASCII &#9827". There is no harm

This is a important thing for me. I take this thing very importantly and very carefully. Many people do this thing not carefully but I specially careful about page title

Clear as mud.

Thanks. The symbol is relevant to the subject of my site too, and whilst i know it won't do anything for keywords etc, it will look good and fit with the "brand".

Just don't want it to incur any algorithmic penalty.

Just Google the special character and see what you get, for example google ✤. No results found because Google does not recognize the character. This is why I no longer use pipes in my titles.

Does any of this make any difference? Probably not

You can also use ® register sign and ™ Trademark symbol in your title..
this is good for your website and doesn't make any harm attack with google...
thanks,

I don't think that using such special symbols will harm but on your place I wouldn't use them.
