See the answer to your question here: https://forum.openoffice.org/en/forum/viewtopic.php?f=7&t=87787 Basically, Writer (just like Word) uses the fonts installed on your system. If the font you are using contains the required character, Writer will display the 211E symbol in exactly the same way as Word. Regards Dave -- Please address any reply to the mailing list only.
