Thanks for the help guys :) Personally I would just use 言う but there was this game I was playing and they used the 云う writing all the time. So I was just wondering if I understand it correctly.

I was wondering what is the difference between 云う and 言う. There seem to be many kanji's with the same meaning with pretty much no differences like 聞く and 訊く.
