(Archived) Cant paste special characters

[Mata Hari 15]

I see no way to paste special characters.

Doulbe click on the special character does not help

You might need to clarify what you're trying to paste. We do have limits, so you might be hitting that. But I think we're pretty good with things that are unicode

I wanted the Pi letter in the Greek alphabet

I opened Edit / Special Characters ...

All I could do was to copy it to the clipboard and then paste. This is what I got.

N-ARY PRODUCT

Unicode: U+220F, UTF-8: E2 88 8F

I think this is unacceptable

Thanks for reporting

So actually, if you had left your cursor in the title or notebody and then double click on the special character, it gets inserted as expected.

thanks!

Yes it does ...

But the variations of symbol do not work

And I see no Special Characters in the WIndows version

Nor is there anything mentioned in Knowledge Bases

[dlu 628]

The variations will just depend on what font you've chosen. If you go switch the font, it should match the variation.

I'll reach out to someone about adding it to the knowledge base

For windows, there's a little built in thing if you go to: Start >> Run >> CharMap
