How to replace @ symbol with your own selected symbol next to your twitter username? - Veronica - 03-24-2014 01:58 AM

I saw this user a crown symbol next to her username instead of the @ symbol. How?
Sorry. I mean I saw this crown icon next the @ symbol. And when you click it, it goes to the persons dashboard or whatever. When you get to the dashboard, the crown goes on top of the username

If you want your Twitter name to work you must use an @ symbol. No @means the system doesn't recognise your name.

The crown comes from the chess symbols in Unicode:
