Hello!
I tried to create a c++ tag but failed
I have created a tag that looks like c++ but is “c＋＋” but the user typed on the “c++” url shows the error “Oops! That page does not exist or is private.”
how to create the plus character in the tag
Thanks.

It is unbelievable to have a website that uses this tag “c++”
Cards in the menu
Tag on url
how to be like that?

`+` is tricky, it often needs to be encoded, at the moment our tag system does not support tags with `+` in them. We should either fix this or at least validate you do not create tags with `+`
Going to mark this as a bug cause it leads to confusion and we need to pick a side here vs allowing you to create a broken tag.

I know the tag system does not support + tags in it.
How to get the “+” card in card management
Please get any suggestions.
Thank you

Notepad++ should be doable with this little trick
```css
.tag-notepad::after {
content: "++";
}
```
I didn’t try it, but it should work everywhere on your forum
But you should avoid doing the same for _c_ for now, given @tophee’s post

@Steven What do you think of this site as having tag “+” [Topics tagged c++](http://daynhauhoc.com/tags/c++)

I honestly don’t know. You can try to contact them, there’s the email address in the about page. I can’t really help on this issue
