How do I get access to special characters, like Greek symbols?

0

You first need to find the font that your character exists in by browsing the font tables. Clicking on any one of the font names, like “math_symbols”, will show you all the characters for that particular font. Once you find the character you desire, note the font table index (“math_symbols” is index 18, for example), and the corresponding character, and then you can use the text function code “F” to change the font. For example, to get a bell symbol, you would see that character “n” in the “symbol_set1” table (index 19) is a bell. You can then use the string “~F19~n~F~” in any text string resource to indicate you want a bell symbol. The “~F~” means go back to the original font.
