Question

How to write ⏚ in a table or note?

I am making a table for drawings and need to use "⏚" (electric ground) in this.

I am unable to find it anywhere in Creo and if I try to copy/paste it I just get at square (□). Weirdly enough if I copy/paste this square to a text editor I get the ⏚ symbol again...

I now I can insert a symbol like this into the drawing but not into the table or a note.

 

It seems like the fonts in Creo does not support this standard unicode U+23AD symbol which is weird to me.

I am using Creo 4.0 M30

This may be font related. Make sure you have a font available in Windows font directory that supports the unicode character set and use that font inside Creo when creating the note.

    I have had things where if I type directly into the cell, it doesn't work, but if I right click and go to properties, I can then add it. Things changed when the went to WYSIWYG (what you see is what you get) typing.

      So it seems the issue is simply that the standard fonts in Creo does not have the symbol.

      This may solve similar issues for me in the future as I often have drawings with these squares comming from countries that use special alphabets e.g. Cyrillic.

      Thanks

      Seems I was a little too quick to accept this as solution.
      I have copied the font to the font directory and I can use the font in Creo. However on my drawing the symbol still shows up as a square...

      In the Editor however it is show correct...
