    Default Changing /admin Folder Name

    I'm wondering if there would be any problem of changing the /admin folder name (as suggested in the site security recommends) to something with foreign characters. For example, changing from /admin to /âdmin, admīn, /a™in, or some completely different word using non-traditional characters. Problem is, I don't know if this would cause any conflict down the road with the software's ability to acknowledge these characters. Anyone know?

    Ah I see. Thanks for saving me the headache. I admit I had to look up what l33t meant but then all those online gamer clan names I had seen made so much more sense!

    Leet is a slang term used primarily on the Internet, particularly in online games. It is derived from the word "Elite" and generally has the same meaning when referring to the skills of another person. The term is often written with numbers replacing letters, such as 1337, l33t, l33+, as well as many other variations.

    Leet can be defined as the corruption or modification of written text. For example, the term "leet" itself is often written "l33t" or "1337". Such corruptions are frequently referred to as "Leetspeak". In addition to corruption of standard language, new colloquialisms have been added to the parlance. It is also important to note that Leet itself is not solely based upon one language or character set. Greek, Russian, Chinese, and other languages have been subjected to the Leet "cipher". As such, while it may be referred to as a "cipher", a "dialect", or a "language", Leet does not fit squarely into any of these categories. This article primarily concerns the English Language variant of Leet.
