Hi,

I tried to use "Special Characters" in Text and also for Geometry Labeling in the Property Editor - but I always get only a Question mark instead of the Special Symbol :cry: ...

What is the trick to get my Symbols? e_surprised

You can use this tool Cool Symbol Picker to choose as many special symbols and characters as you want.
