# 2.2. KSirc native

Format:

- ˜<fg>[,<bg>] sets the foreground and background

- ˜c resets tp defaults

- ˜b sets bold font

- ˜u sets underline

- ˜i sets italics

- ˜r sets underline

Why did I change ksirc to use ˜ instead of 0x03 (ˆC)? Well, it's hard to use 0x03 in scripts and not all C functions seem to like it. ˜<letter> also alows more commands while not stomping on mirc's future changes.
