I assume there's a reason to it?

EDIT:
I think I know what it's for:
hudtxt id;text;x;y...
Is there a workaround to showing it? I specifically need it to show a semicolon.
hudtxt id;text;x;y...
hudtxt "5" "test;50;50"
in the console.textparameter of
textto see if the data is passed correctly as it should.
