Hi,
I have a ring control and I change its string value as needed. Some strings need to have α and/or ß symbol in it. I can show α symbol if I change font style to "Symbol" but it changes read out of other regular strings.
Is there a different ALT Code for alpha in application fonts or is there a font that supports standard characters and symbols?
Thank you for reading.
Solved! Go to Solution.

Use Windows Character Map to find the α for your font.

Hi Zou,
I already tried doing that. Font shown in the string indicator is Arial.
I know the ALT code is ALT+ 224 (α).

Are you using a non-English Windows?

No, its standard US-English Windows.

That α is Unicode. Choose a difference font, or use unicode.
Take a look:
