    {
      "q": "How do I color text on signs in Valheim?",
      "a": "Valheim signs use Unity's Rich Text formatting engine. To change the text color, wrap your text in a <color=...> tag. For example, typing '<color=orange><b>⚔ WEAPONS</b></color>' on a wooden sign will display bold glowing orange text. You can use standard color names (red, yellow, orange, cyan, green, white, grey, purple) or any 6-digit hex code like <color=#FFD700> for metallic gold."
    },
    {
      "q": "How do I make text larger or smaller on Valheim signs?",
      "a": "Use the Unity size tag: <size=X>Your Text</size>, where X is the desired font size. For example, '<size=5><b>FOOD</b></size>' creates a large header, while '<size=3>Raw Meat</size>' produces compact sub-labels. Keep in mind that Valheim wooden signs have limited surface area; sizes between 3 and 6 work best."
    },
    {
      "q": "How do I make Valheim sign text glow in the dark?",
      "a": "While signs themselves don't emit light directly, choosing high-luminance colors like <color=yellow>, <color=cyan>, <color=orange>, or bright hex codes (<color=#00FFCC>) makes text easily readable in dark longhouses and night hours. Placing a Surtling Core, Wisp Light, or Wall Torch near your chest wall will illuminate the rich text colors brightly."
    },
    {
      "q": "What is the character limit for Valheim wooden signs?",
      "a": "Valheim signs have a maximum text limit of approximately 50 characters, including Rich Text formatting tags. If your color or size tags are too long, the text will truncate or overflow outside the wooden plank. The Valheim Sign Generator on this page tracks your character limit in real time to ensure your formatted code fits perfectly."
    },
    {
      "q": "Why do some Unicode symbols appear as empty boxes or question marks on Valheim signs?",
      "a": "Valheim uses a custom Norse font in the Unity engine. While standard Unicode arrows (➔, ➜, ⬆), medieval weapons (⚔, 🛡), and Elder Futhark Viking Runes (ᚠ, ᚱ, ᛏ) render cleanly, newer complex multi-byte mobile emojis may appear distorted. All 50+ symbols curated on this page have been verified in-game on Valheim PC and console."
    },
    {
      "q": "How do I name and label Portals in Valheim?",
      "a": "Unlike storage signs which display text outward, Portal tags are typed directly into the Portal's interact menu ('E'). Portal tags are case-sensitive and must match identically between connecting portals (e.g., both portals must be named 'BASE' or 'SWAMP'). Use wooden signs placed above or beside your portals with our formatted direction tags (<color=cyan><b>🌀 BASE ➔ HOME</b></color>) to clearly guide server members without altering the internal portal link."
