Hello all,

I'd like to use some unicode characters in an expression. For
example, instead of:

="E-Mail: " & [emailaddress]

I'd like to display the Unicode envelope character, #2709:

=#2709 & " " & [emailaddress]

Is there a way to do this (or something else that achieves a similar
effect)?

Thanks for any help.

Nevermind...I figured it out. But I have to actually USE the Windows
Character Map. Meaning, I have to find the character I want in Arial
Unicode MS, then press 'Select' and 'Copy', then paste that character
into my Control Source.

Is there any way to type these characters in manually? With ANSI
characters you can hold down ALT while typing the keycode. Anything
like this for Unicode? Say, character U+274A, for example.

Thanks,
Joseph
