Hi; I am trying to use character codes shown to me by my gnome character map gui. The two codes I want to use are described as follows: ۸ U+06F8 EXTENDED ARABIC-INDIC DIGIT EIGHT General Character Properties Unicode category: Number, Decimal Digit Various Useful Representations UTF-8: 0xDB 0xB8 Octal escaped UTF-8: \333\270 Decimal entity reference: ۸ ˍ U+02CD MODIFIER LETTER LOW MACRON General Character Properties Unicode category: Letter, Modifier Various Useful Representations UTF-8: 0xCB 0x8D Octal escaped UTF-8: \313\215 Decimal entity reference: ˍ Annotations and Cross References Notes: • low level tone See also: • U+005F LOW LINE • U+0331 COMBINING MACRON BELOW Used in a sample they should look like this: schoolbus <|۸ˍˍ۸۸ˍˍ۸۸۸ˍˍˍˍ۸|> The test picture above should be: <|(inverted V)(short underline)(inverted V)(inverted V)(short underline) etc.|> - Did the picture show up as it was supposed to? - Besides copying and pasting, is there a way to insert the code using compose key or binding to another key? - If there is, which code from above should I use and why? I want to use these characters with Monospace Font and Unicode (UTF-8). Regards Bill P.S Is this technical enough for this list or should I have used the general list?
