I can figure out how to add the character: "[" to one of my list. It keeps acting as if its trying to embed something. Have tried to embed it in and embedded expression, have tried {}'s.

Now for my second question:

How would I add this to the client.screen without garbeling the text because it doesnt get the locs of the states right?

mob
      testmob1
        Click()
            usr.target=src
            var/list/textlist=list()
            var/Loc=-(lentext(src.name)*1+1/2)
            for(var/a=1, a<lentext(src.name)+1, a++)
                letters+=copytext(src.name,a,a+1)
            for(var/state in letters)
                var/obj/text2/T=new(locate(usr.client.screen))
                T.layer=FLY_LAYER+1
                T.icon_state=state
                T.pixel_x=Loc
                T.pixel_y=10
                Loc+=6+1/2
                textname()

In response to your first question, escape the character out. I belive that it's \[
