I'm hoping someone who understands Unicode things can help me.

I'm trying to create a page turn arrow as a Measure Expression. Here is one that is similar:

ÂZapf Dingbats at 48 pts

if you don't have Zapf Dingbats, then you will probably see a capital A with a circumflex.

I can create this one no problem, but I actually want this more exaggerated one:

 Wingdings3 at 72 pts

if you don't have WingDings3 (or even if you do in my case!) then you see a down arrow instead of a curved right arrow. This is what shows up in Finale, even when I use Character Palette, which is supposed to handle these things. The character I am looking at is in the Unicode Table row F0C0 and column A, and I can only find it in Wingdings 3 Regular.

So far, the only program I have been able to see it correctly in (aside from Character Palette) is AppleWorks, and I can create a PDF from it, but I can't get it imported in any way into Finale that I can work out. Apparently the character will only show up in Unicode-compliant programs, and Finale is not one of them. I would be happy to import it as a graphic, but I can't create a graphic that will import into Finale from AppleWorks. I can only create a PDF, or a very low-resolution TIFF or JPEG, which are too jaggy to use. There is no way I can find to increase the resolution of the TIFF beyond 72 DPI.

Does anybody have any strategies?

Thanks in advance.

Christopher
