Windings problems

[Pablo2000]

Hi. I type ALT 252 in to a cell and instead of getting the tick I get a club as in a playing card. Am I using the wrong code as I have been using...



Wingdings character set and equivalent Unicode characters

When i click to a difrent cell the sympol changes to a greak kind of letter a wierd looking M. Looks like Decimal 99 Vergo in the list.

But ALT 65 displays a club.

What font is your cell using? Have you tried updating it to the Wingdings font?

The Insert > Symbol route not only introduces the symbol but seems to apply the correct font for that character.

Wow that is incredible. Do you think that is what was going on?

Yes, some symbols are only available with a relationship with the particular font. Unless you specify you're changing the font, going a key combination won't yield the symbol.

Most alphabetical symbols, like é, are available in many standard fonts.
