In older versions of Autocad (before true text font support), special
symbols were input as %% followed by a symbol code. So %%d represents a
degrees symbol.

Greetings List,
When converting DWG files with UT, I often see the following text strings
as
labels.
N 48%%d56'29" W 246.85'
This of course is a surveyor bearing and distance but why the percent
signs?
Specifically:
48%%d56'29"
I would assume is meant to be:
48� 56'29" (a degree symbol replacing the %%d)
Is this just a quirk in converting DWG's or is this something else?
Thanks,
