For example inputting numbers like 2022, 0161, 0026 in Inkscape is straightforward and gives the correct characters. But how do I input 002A, 20AC or 00DD etc? I know the answer must be simple but what is it?
Putting 002A in as a unicode number brings up the symble A since Inkscape reverts to text mode when I input the A. The correct character for 002A is an asterisk
Works for me:
Ctrl+U 0 0 2 a Esc
produces an asterisk. What do you use? Does that work for you?
A related question is on ANSI mode. Most of my text software will output a character map with character versus ANSI value. Can I put these ANSI values into Inkscape to get the correct characters? If so, How?
What is "ANSI value"? Same as ASCII? If so then ASCII is a subset of Unicode, you can use the Unicode mode as in the above.
