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.
