Hi, Hmm, not sure if it's just my machines or possibly caused by the emoji & symbol editor. But copying and pasting the character as a text character and not as an emoji/symbol allows me to paste the command symbol into the properties list Title section, the form editor and running the form see

Hi, Have you tried the OBJECT SET TITLE command? OBJECT SET TITLE(*;"Button";Char(8984)+"T") Works for me on Windows and Mac, 4Dv16 and 4Dv17. Best Regards, -Tai B. ** 4D Internet Users Group (4D iNUG) Archive: http://lists.

Hi Chip, Thanks. Seems strange that with all the Unicode characters 4D can handle that a button wouldn’t;t be able to show that character. yes I could create an svg button but seems overkill (at this point anyway). I’d rather not keeping whacking my brain trying things that won’t work. Anyway
