Printing Alt Codes

Is there something special you have to do to have ALT codes print? I placed some boxes ALT 0141 into some text and they don't print either to paper or PDF.

Thank You

I noticed the same thing with ALT+0141 that you are experiencing. You may want to try ALT+11036. Works well for me and prints nicely. You can also use the Character Map for a slightly different look using SEGOE UI EMOJI. I did enlarge the font size on the squares for a better look. Not sure how this image thing works. Suspect I will find out.

No issue for my side...
Do your font support the unicode?

Do they show up correctly in your SW Drawing?
