The ground symbol inside Text[] object

Posted 4 years ago

I am working on a Graphics3D figure that I want to include the "earth ground symbol": enter image description here

It is a unicode symbol with the decimal code 9178. source: 1 2

I tried this command

Text[FromCharacterCode[{9178}]]

but the output is nothing other than a blank square, altough

`Text[FromCharacterCode[{97}]]`

returns a.

Do I have to resort to a png image of the earth symbol to be transplanted or can Mathematica render it in my plot?

Thanks a lot!

Hi Ehud,

Works fine for me on "12.2.0 for Mac OS X x86 (64-bit) (December 12, 2020)"

FromCharacterCode[9178]
(* ⏚ *)

Hmmm..

I am on Windows 7 64 bit, Mathematica 12.1.1.0

Now I also noted this:

CharacterName[FromCharacterCode[9178]]
(*"EarthGround"*)

I have another computer (Mac OS X Mojave ) to try generating this plot on. I guess I have to work on it in the final compilation.

Most likely a font issue. My default for Input / Output is Source Code Pro.

unicode support is enhanced in 12.2

I tried it on "11.3.0 for Mac OS X x86 (64-bit) (March 7, 2018)" and it worked fine.
