   - Meaning: "Boa" and "Hancock" are different names/aliases for the *same character*. The names are listed within parentheses separated by commas (e.g., `name1, alias1, alias2`), and the entire group is followed by a `~` symbol. This is useful when a creator uses different names for the same character.

For creating or modifying complex grouped alias entries directly in the file, or for bulk edits, click the "Open Known.txt" button. The application reloads `Known.txt` on startup or before a download process begins.
