How to use? "N - Add/Edit a note" in the map screen

I can make notes just fine, it’s just that I can’t figure out how to use custom symbols and/or colors.

Can someone enlighten me?

Here’s an example:

!:R;Mine Field

Result on the map: A red exclamation point, with the attached description, “Mine Field”

Map symbol - Color - Text
First : then ;
Default/fallback map symbol is N, if nothing else is defined by the user
Default/fallback color is yellow, if nothing else is defined by the user

Adding an example to the note input window would be helpful for newbs. Here’s a few more:

M:R;Minefield – Red M, description reads “Minefield”.
R;Minefield – Red N, description reads “Minefield”. In this example no letter is given, so the game uses N.
B:B – Yellow B, description reads “B”. I use this to quickly mark barracks areas in labs. Here no color is given, hence the default yellow.
P:P – Yellow P, descrption reads “P”. For lab prison containment areas.
P:Potato chips – Yellow P, description reads “Potato chips”.
C;Ice Lab – Cyan N, description reads “Ice Lab”.
R;Roadblock – Red N, description reads “Roadblock”.

I should make a suggestion (alternative system) that’s more user-friendly…

bonus info:
Dark blue L in labs (created by default) means there’s a downstair somewhere in that square.
Cyan L is for the main loot room, which is found in every lab.
