Hello,
Is it possible to insert unicode characters in a text module?
How?
I use Unicode characters in many places in my app. I've always just done a web search on the character I'm looking for, then copied and pasted into the editor. Occasionally I'll also do a manual edit of the session file. I enter them as html in widget styles and as key values for switches (I also use a few icons from Font Awesome and sometimes forget which non-ASCII are FA and which are Unicode).
Is that not working for you?
Can you give an example of the formatting you are using in a character chain? My attempts haven't succeeded so far.
This is from the values for a switch:
{
"Off": 0,
"∿": 1,
"□": 2,
"◿": 3,
"◺": 4
}
This is from the html for a panel:
@{this.id} (h s l α)
How do you insert them in your text in the first place? Copy-paste?
Hi @amundsen
An example with fontawesome (but maybe you know all of this :-))
tip : if you really want to use unicode code.
<i class="fa fa-home"></i>
<i class="fa"></i>
But as you, i can't find the way @erictheise uses to get right into the editor field of the switch.

As I said earlier I just do a web search, then copy and paste from a website devoted to Unicode (usually fileformat.info or unicode-table.com). Depending on what I'm doing I'll either paste into the editor or manually edit the session file.
I understand, but what exactly do you copy and where?
ok i think i catch what @erictheise want us to do 
An example :
https://www.fileformat.info/info/unicode/char/301c/browsertest.htm
Then copy then into osc paste
pretty handy : Unicode Character Search

What I needed to know is how to insert the characters in a string. Why is the "^" character requested beforehand?
And it's not related to the use of unicode characters, which you can copy-paste using the keyboard shortcuts ctrl+c and ctrl+v @amundsen.
