[This is a bit of a work-in-progress, though I suspect I've gotten the majority of them already.]
I'm uploading this for those who aren't savvy or patient enough to slog through CharMap.exe (on PC) and/or a website, to copy-paste into a label to narrow down what works... So I did it for ya! :D
This is a companion part to my Rich Text Code resource post (for use in these text labels).
As far as Font support goes: Only the Roboto font displays them any differently, all the rest look like what's in the screenshot (Default font)
Note: I only included obscure or symmetrical characters that could be used to stylize builds or interfaces. The "A" I included was for it's symmetrical element, but tried to stay away from non-English languages as to not offend anyone; the others in that row are Currency symbols.
REQUEST:
The first unique character I used on a build was the "Greek Delta" character, however, as you can see in the screenshot, it NO LONGER DISPLAYS for me for some reason...
This is despite restarting Simple Planes multiple times, as well as playing in DirectX12 instead of the default 11.
So I'm curious if others can see any of the 4 squares? (not the one with the arrow pointing to it)
There are three small letters, which are the first ones you come to. Then the "Delta" is at the very bottom of the label.
Thanks!
ENJOY!
Bonus:
This Label part also does a.... 'decent'(? lol)... job at showing off some of the Rich Text functions and what you can do with them.
It's a little messy, but I managed to to keep the bulk of it at the very bottom. I was able to accomplish this because the small red text in the middle is actually at the END of the label's typed text, where I used <line-height=> to artificially move it to the middle :)

@Stinkypinky, @Freerider2141, @SnoWFLakE0s, @FeatherWing, @ShiroNeko, @Sparky6004, @MrGreen, plus anyone else who happened to share it with friends:
I just wanted to say thank You for helping to pass around this knowledge with the community :)
@Bellcat I don't think the website supports them... :\ At least, when I've tried in the past they haven't worked. (With the new site features they've added in the last couple weeks, it's possible things have changed...)
Albeit, while the Delta character, comically, does work, for example the 4 thin Up, Down, Left, Right arrows do not.
I'll gladly paste them below this sentence, but I am not expecting anything to show up... At least, they don't for ME (if they do for you, let me know):

As I recall, they display when pasting them, but once I hit Submit they vanish. Though, there's a whole row of stuff that it seems even my browser's font lacks heh (The first row of the "Zero-Width Combining Characters", but could be that it's due to the nature of the character that they aren't displaying here.)
.
EDIT: Well, color me totally surprise, they did show up :)
Either way, the entire objective of this as an Uploaded Part, was for people to download it and drag the Label over the Sub Assembly button (that displays while dragging stuff) and then create their own part.
Once on a build where you wanted to utilize the characters, you'd place the Label I made, then Edit it to copy out the text needed. As it's WAY faster than having to switch screens to your browser to copy the characters.
(I'm on PC and that's still how I do it, keep it in the background of my build! lol)
It can see your symbols
Wow
That could be useful for Country RP stuff, such as coat of arms, military ranks and roundels/insignias
Thanks bro
@11qazxc Hmm interesting... All the Box Drawing characters I've pasted in (either from Arial or MS Gothic fonts) have all produced the "Unsupported Character Square of Doom" :\
.
If you figure out any details on that, please let me know!
afaik all box-drawing characters works correctly (but to draw actual box you will need to use mspace and line-height), but i can't prove it.
I know the 3-leaf clover thing works, I put one on one of my planes
@Formula350 Thanks for your reply. Coincidentally someone recently made a collection of stars using other characters. The label function can be programmed apparently...
@Falkenwut I'll try some additional fonts that I know have a multitude of stars, as I don't think Arial actually had. any! (
MS GothicandMS UI Gothicare one of my go-to fonts for extra characters like that)---RESULTS: I tried these on the line below (in case they don't show up)

Unfortunately, no luck :( But I included them just in case it works for others, like how that Greek Delta DID work for me, but suddenly stopped (I haven't updated since v1.11 was released), so it's worth giving it a try yourself.
I think I'm going to make a formal Request for them and a metric boatload of other characters, to be added to the game. Some would certainly make replica aircraft require a few less parts by having text symbols instead of joined small fuselage pieces... There's a Hammer-and-Sickle character, as well as a Swastika, which would be useful, too. (which I fully appreciate the latter being a touchy one to deal with, and I know it's permitted for strictly historical builds on here, but intentionally including it might not be something Jundroo is comfortable with; perfectly acceptable if not)
.
@X99STRIKER lmao You're.... welcome...?? :P
But srsly... You might change your mind when you see the sort of ways one could apply them as decals. Here's a Work In Progress of mine, to give you an example. The wing pattern was achieved by using only 1 label per wing (and only 2 characters per label)!
Thank you for making this… I will never use them
No star? :(
@hardy57 Glad to help.
I like to think outside the box and could already see the potential for the ability to use unique characters for not just HUDs or actual Labels, but also styling decals... It just takes a little creative thinking on how to combine/overlay multiple characters together using the Rich Text code. :D
Thankyou - this will be very usefull for me!!!
@Formula350, well, pin both messages, so users can see them.
Just realized I also had forgotten to link to my Resource post in the description... oops.
I'll put it here, too:
Rich Text Code resources
Useful for builds. I would recommend you make a forum post containing these stuff, so we can just copy and paste the words from said forum post. Thanks.
