in process of compiling list of smoke & CO alarms
In creating a Calc spreadsheet to compile lists of smoke & CO alarms, I wanted
to include a pull-down list in one column to indicate power source, per:
* 🔋 (battery only) U+1F50B
* ⏻+🔋 (mains power + battery back-up) (U+23FB & U+1F50B)
* ⏻ (mains power only) (U+23FB)
* 🔌 (plug-in) Electric Plug (U+1F50C)
However, I was unable to do this... I was able to do all three symbols in a
cell as in: 🔋⏻🔌 (not something that exists at Home Depot) but if I delete one
of the symbols, another symbol also disapeard or changed to a different version
of the symbol (colour to black and white) or else another symbol changed to a
box (unknown character).
Undeterred, I decided to create the list in Writer - but this time I found
similar, although slightly different problems. For example, I could render the
battery (green) and the power symbol on different lines, but if I put them on
the same line, the battery symbol changed from green to black and white line
version. Also, if I copied the power symbol and battery to Calc, only the
battery symbol displayed - it seems impossible to render the power symbol and
the battery symbol in the same cell - as if the power symbol was silently
deleted.
It was about this point that I realized that I should file a bug report.
See attached files (Calc & Writer) to see how far I got before abandoning this
effort.
