copy and paste works

It actually doesn't. It gets filtered by default.

badspot filters out a few characters from chat messages for no apparent reason

You can't type it by default because it's the console key, if it wasn't filtered by chat people who knew how to insert it would lord it over others.

If you insert "\x7E" in a string in script, that's the tilde. So you could do commandtoserver('messagesent',"I\'m a huge fat gay\x7E"); in the console and it will send. But the default servercmdmessagesent filters the character out. Most chatmods don't, so if the server has a custom chat you're probably good to go.

I would like my custom chat to be as default as possible. What are the other filtered characters?

I believe the no-break space is also filtered out. (You can use the no-break space to keep arguments in a servercmd from seperating into distinct arguments if you use a slash command in chat.)

I can copy-paste it just fine.

I dunno, on my keyboard the console key is ¬/`.
Is this the difference between US and EU keyboards?

You can type it if it's not your console key
