toe_head2001 Posted March 21, 2019 Share Posted March 21, 2019 Which font are you using? You need to make sure you're using a font that supports that particular Unicode character.

AndrewDavid Posted March 21, 2019 Share Posted March 21, 2019 Hi @Pam23 Welcome to the forum. Character Map is a utility included with Microsoft Windows operating systems and is used to view the characters in any installed font. Within Paint there is a plugin that allows you the same procedure to view characters of your installed fonts and allows you to render them to the canvas. Here's the plugin Hope this answers your question Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pixey Posted March 22, 2019 Share Posted March 22, 2019 Hello @Pam23 and Welcome to the forum Just a note to say that when using the above Plugin that @AndrewDavid suggests, sometimes some of the symbols do not work in the Wingdings choices. They used to all work, but then something changed in Microsoft.
