Try changing the font to Arial Unicode MS, which does have that glyph, and see if the symbol appears then. (You could change the font just for the one char, with a Character Format.) -- Jeremy H.

Hello Framers, I have been struggling with this in FM9. My document has a Symbol-font arrow that goes wonky when I convert to PDF. I have tried several tools and suggestions, including the FM hex input palette, to enter the proper code, but none work--I just get a question mark in place of the arrow. I am not skilled enough in Windows (7) to modify a registry (Mac person here). Any help for the Windows-impaired?

How to enter Unicode Character in FrameMaker 10?
There is a Windows input method to 'type' Unicode characters, using the numeric pad to type the unicode hex number. Steps required: 1. You'll need to enable the Windows 'hex numpad' option. As there's no user interface option for this [AFAIK], you'll need to modify the Windows registry: 1a. Click Start > Run and launch the registry editor: RegEdit.exe 1b. Navigate to [HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Control Panel\Input Method] 1c. Locate the key named "EnableHexNumpad". If there isn't one, use the right mouse menu to create a new string value with the type REG_SZ 1d. Double-click the EnableHexNumpad key to give it a value of 1 1e. Close RegEdit. 2. Reboot. Because it's Windows. 3. Log back in, and then you can then start inserting Unicode characters - if you know their hex code. For example: Hold down your Left-Alt key, and then on the numeric pad: press + press 2 press 1 press 9 press 2 and then release the Alt key. You will how have a right-arrow. Hex a to f is done using your main keyboard. NOTE: I'm not certain if this still works in Windows 7, but knowing Microsoft they'll still support it in the same way that you can't have specific file names, such as: con.doc ; prn.txt ; aux.html etc. still!

RE: How to enter Unicode Character in FrameMaker 10?
There is a Windows input method to 'type' Unicode characters, using the numeric pad to type the unicode hex number. Steps required: 1. You'll need to enable the Windows 'hex numpad' option. As there's no user interface option for this [AFAIK], you'll need to modify the Windows registry: 1a. Click Start > Run and launch the registry editor: RegEdit.exe 1b. Navigate to [HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Control Panel\Input Method] 1c. Locate the key named "EnableHexNumpad". If there isn't one, use the right mouse menu to create a new string value with the type REG_SZ 1d. Double-click the EnableHexNumpad key to give it a value of 1 1e. Close RegEdit. 2. Reboot.

Hi Nancy, Choose File > Utilities > Character Palette, then use the arrows at the right-hand side of the Character Palette to scroll down to the unicode range you need (219, in your case). The 219 range should contain the glyph you want. Click it to insert it into your document at the cursor.

(I'm speaking from an FM9 POV, but FM10 probably works the same.) When creating the variable, you can type the unicode in the form \u2192, with no need to suffer the grim horror of the Character Palette. (You may need to first create a character tag specifying one of the fonts that contains the arrow at that code point, and include the tag in the variable definition.)

Hi, Nadine. I see that I've wandered into a larger question than I meant to! Right now, I just need to find out the easiest way to find a special character in a Unicode font and insert it into my Frame documents, irrespective of whether they'll be translated into HTML. mif2go is very powerful and probably does do what you suggest, but I want to learn the least complicated way of selecting Unicode characters for my Frame document even if I won't be using mif2go with it. --Nancy Aug 24, 2011 01:43:51 PM, nadinemurray at yahoo.ca wrote: I'm not familiar with using Mif2Go to create HMTL, but can you set it to "translate" your symbols into the correct entity?

How to enter Unicode Character in FrameMaker 10?
Hi, Mike and everyone. I find the File/Utilities/Character Palette feature pretty unfriendly because there's no way to search it with descriptive text (like "arrow" or "right arrow") and I tend to get seasick scrolling through it and squinting at the grey-on-black characters. Is there a way to search it? If there isn't a way to search it, then I need to find the code somewhere else so I can then find it in the palette. Here is the process I think I'm going to have to follow. 1. Go to http://www.fileformat.info/info/unicode/char/2192/index.htm or a similar site. 2. Search for the character I need. 3. Look at the U + code. The first three numbers of the code give me the row number in the character palette. 4. Open the character palette and scroll to that line. 5. Select the character and insert it. If you get seasick when scrolling, is this basically what you do? Is there a way to circumvent steps 4 and 5 and just key in the code directly? How do you do that in FrameMaker? Numlock -- Alt -- code doesn't work. Thanks!

No keyboard shortcuts, but if you use the symbol often, you can create a variable and insert that with a keyboard shortcut (Alt + s, v, first letter of variable name, Enter). (I'm speaking from an FM9 POV, but FM10 probably works the same.) When creating the variable, you can type the unicode in the form \u2192, with no need to suffer the grim horror of the Character Palette. (You may need to first create a character tag specifying one of the fonts that contains the arrow at that code point, and include the tag in the variable definition.)

You *should* also be able to press and hold the ALT key and type on a number pad 2192. Release the ALT key. DO NOT type on the numbers above your letter keys.

How to enter Unicode Character in FrameMaker 10?
Hi, everyone. I'm using FrameMaker 10 on a Windows 7 system. I currently create a right arrow in my Frame documents by typing the ASCII registered trademark and applying the Symbol font. When I convert the file to HTML, the Symbol font drops out and it reverts to the trademark character. I am assuming that using the Unicode character will solve this problem. (first question: do you agree?) Here's a writeup of the character: http://www.fileformat.info/info/unicode/char/2192/index.htm Which of these cryptic codes to I use to get the character into my text? HOW do I enter the code to do this? Thanks!

Re: How to enter Unicode Character in FrameMaker 10?
Hi, Nadine. I see that I've wandered into a larger question than I meant to! Right now, I just need to find out the easiest way to find a special character in a Unicode font and insert it into my Frame documents, irrespective of whether they'll be translated into HTML. mif2go is very powerful and probably does do what you suggest, but I want to learn the least complicated way of selecting Unicode characters for my Frame document even if I won't be using mif2go with it. --Nancy Aug 24, 2011 01:43:51 PM, nadinemur...@yahoo.ca wrote: I'm not familiar with using Mif2Go to create HMTL, but can you set it to "translate" your symbols into the correct entity?

Re: RE: How to enter Unicode Character in FrameMaker 10?
Hi, Mike and everyone. I find the File/Utilities/Character Palette feature pretty unfriendly because there's no way to search it with descriptive text (like "arrow" or "right arrow") and I tend to get seasick scrolling through it and squinting at the grey-on-black characters. Is there a way to search it? If there isn't a way to search it, then I need to find the code somewhere else so I can then find it in the palette. Here is the process I think I'm going to have to follow. 1. Go to http://www.fileformat.info/info/unicode/char/2192/index.htm or a similar site. 2. Search for the character I need. 3. Look at the U + code. The first three numbers of the code give me the row number in the character palette. 4. Open the character palette and scroll to that line. 5. Select the character and insert it. If you get seasick when scrolling, is this basically what you do? Is there a way to circumvent steps 4 and 5 and just key in the code directly? How do you do that in FrameMaker? Numlock -- Alt -- code doesn't work. Thanks! ___ You are currently subscribed to framers as arch...@mail-archive.com.

How to enter Unicode Character in FrameMaker 10?
Hi Nancy, Choose File > Utilities > Character Palette, then use the arrows at the right-hand side of the Character Palette to scroll down to the unicode range you need (219, in your case). The 219 range should contain the glyph you want. Click it to insert it into your document at the cursor.
