Please increase train stop name character limit, for rich text purposes

Post by 1WheelDude »

I got a nice idea from somewhere I don't recall, but it was a neat idea to use train stop names with rich text, as an example in the posted screenshot:

However, there is a limit to how much you can put into this name, probably because of the character limit. I propose increasing this limit so we can use a lot of rich text iconography in our train stop names.

I have been using Rich Text icons extensively, and have not found a Useful Reason to have THAT many symbols in a Label (map tag, train station, platform name, interrupt name, etc)… Out of simple curiousity, what is this naming scheme meant to represent?

My train stations all use a format like: [Planet][Item][Quality][Number of Wagons][+ or -], which is a total of 5 icons.
