To insert special characters on a Windows computer while editing a page in Confluence: While we cannot provide comprehensive instructions for every operating system and device in these documents, the basic instructions for inserting symbols and special characters on Windows and Apple computers are given below. Symbols and special characters were removed from the new editor, so use your operating system's symbols as these are more comprehensive. Or other directions, sometimes get added as afterthought or extensions.This section provides the details for inserting emojis using the new editor. Typically, the rightward versions have correctly designedįonts, because it is far more popularly used. It depends on your operating system, web browser, your browser and OS configuration, and availability of font on your system. How the chars shows up on your screen may be very different from another person. Unicode arrows inconsistent font problem, rendered on Note that some left/right pairs looks very different, even in the same font.įor example, here's how they render in your browser: Character (For example, there is no char named “TOP ARC CLOCKWISE ARROW”) But given these chars, how do you order them? Font Problems First of all, note that not all of them is present. 8 arcs, 2 directions, there are a combination of 16 possibilities. Each arc can be clockwise or anti-clockwise. There are 2 of them, and 4 of the diagonal arcs. The names are inconsistent.įinally, in Unicode 7, a new one with consistent name is added.
