How to enter Unicode Character in FrameMaker 10?

[Bethany Lee]

I didn't know this! Thanks for sharing, Ian. You helped me too. And it IS a lot more compact than the character palette.

Hi Nancy,
FrameMaker does have the Hex Input palette where you can type the hex value
of any unicode character. It's a lot more compact than the character
palette. You can find it here: File > Utilities > Hex Input... or Alt + f u
i.

Hi, everyone.

I'm using FrameMaker 10 on a Windows 7 system.

I currently create a right arrow in my Frame documents by typing the ASCII
registered trademark and applying the Symbol font. When I convert the file
to HTML, the Symbol font drops out and it reverts to the trademark
character.

I am assuming that using the Unicode character will solve this problem.
(first question: do you agree?) Here's a writeup of the character:

Which of these cryptic codes to I use to get the character into my text? HOW
do I enter the code to do this?

Thanks!
