More symbols, better availability

I'm not quite sure why I haven't thought of it yet, but I think the forums and communication could be improved vastly by implementing more symbols, and more importantly, making them easier to use.

First of all with symbols I'm referring to stuff like the FIDS symbols:

Now let's go point by point.

Implement more symbols

In short, implement all symbols that could be used when referring to the Endless games. Influence for example is missing, the closest symbol is  but it's called Empire Point. Confusion arises.

Also we have  but we don't have a FIDSI symbol.

Essence from the Vodyani is missing.

And there probably should be symbols for Luxury/Strategic Resources too.

Make symbols easier to access

So... I might be wrong but to my current knowledge most symbols are only accessible when opening the window and clicking the icon.

As far as I know some symbols are only accessible there, while others, like some smilies are also available by writing out those smilies.

Point in case, all should be easily available. For instance I should be able to just get all symbols for FIDSI by writing stuff like:

 :f:

 :ind:

 :d:

 :s:

[Influence] :inf:

 :fids:

[FIDSI] :fidsi:

Additionally the shortening should be visible in the tool tip.

Instead of just "FIDS" imagine "FIDS - :fids:" written there or something, the first word obviously the description and the second the quick way to access it.

This tiny screencap shows another visual problem. 2 actually.

First, the symbols have an actual tooltip property, the white one, which will appear below and to the right of the cursor. Since the black tooltip made by the site appears below the icon it'll be overshadowed by the white one.

The second issue is the fact most cursors visually extend downwards, so by default and design they'll cover the black tooltip.

Either remove the black tooltip altogether, or put it above the icon, not below.
