Formatting codes for single text Home

The following control codes are used to add special characters in Text entity:

Control code Result
%%d Degree symbol (°)
%%p Tolerance symbol (±)
%%c Diameter symbol (Ø)
%% Percent symbol (%)

You can enter any character by its Unicode value, with the control code \U+xxxx, where xxxx is the hexadecimal value of the Unicode character. For example:

Control code Result
\U+00B0 Degree symbol (°)
\U+00B1 Tolerance symbol (±)
\U+2205 Diameter symbol (Ø)
\U+20AC Euro symbol (€)
\U+00A9 Copyright symbol (©)

The characted must exist in a font file, otherwise LiteCAD will draw an empty rectangle instead of this character.
