Insert Symbol Dialog

The Insert Symbol Dialog allows insertion of arbitrary Unicode symbols. These are usually symbols that cannot be entered from the keyboard directly.

Figure 1. Insert Symbol Dialog



To insert a symbol into your document either double click the symbol or click the Insert button.

If the symbol is not visible in the current font (shown at top left), you can change the font.

Note:

The symbol that is visible in the Insert Symbol Dialog may not be visible within the document, because the font in the current position of this document may not contain this symbol. To make the symbol visible correct the font in the stylesheet.

You can change the shown portion of the Unicode symbols either by typing the character code point into Character Range text-box or by changing the character range combo (middle top).

The arrow buttons next to the Character Range label rewind or fast forward to the adjacent portion of the code table.

You may also compose a list of your favourite symbols with the Ins and Del buttons, or by calling the context menu with a right click.
