You might be helped by getting a program like AsciiChart, which shows what
all the codes are. In the Symbol font, it appears that you can use 0x03 for
a left arrow, and 0x04 for a right arrow. For the Latin fonts, each
character is represented by a single byte.
To enter 0x03 for the text using Constructor:
1. Open the button's property window.
2. Select the Font property.
3. Click the drop-down arrow and choose Symbol.
4. Select the Label property.
5. Click the Hex button.
6. Type in 03.
7. Close and save your resource.
8. Compile and run your app to see the arrow.
Constructor may not have access to the correct font in Windows (or the Mac
OS) to display the arrow properly so you probably won't be able to see the
arrow until you run your app on Poser or on a Palm device.
