Using UTF8

[ADMGNS]

hello

What happens if you change to other font instead default or change those character codes?

yes, i've just tried using some other fonts, including Windows fonts like Verdana, Trebushet, Segoe UI, etc, the results are same.

maybe it's a mystery problem we dont know yet

I use Format function all the time. For example:

Code: Pascal  [Select][+][-]

1.   Button1.Caption := Format('%s Undo', [#$E10E]);
2.   Button2.Caption := Format('%s Cut', [#$E16B]);
3.   Button3.Caption := Format('%s Copy', [#$E16F]);
4.   Button4.Caption := Format('%s Paste', [#$E16D]);
5.   Button5.Caption := Format('%s Delete', [#$E106]);

to produce attached screenshot.

That's brilliant!

Thank you, @Mike.Cornflake

I've been using it since Delphi 2009. Fortunately it works in Lazarus (for Windows).

In fact U+E000..U+F8FF is private use area, and you cannot rely on those glyphs. AFAIK they are presented in Segoe UI Symbol only, which is used by Windows with some fonts of Segoe family (not all).

interesting. it doesnt show clpbrd/edit symbols you've added, but does show other unicode symbols. see attchmnt

which subset are that symbols in?

@tetrastes, you are right.. it is not a solid standard yet

Miscellaneous Technical U+2300..U+23FF
Miscellaneous Symbols and Pictographs U+1F300..U+1F5FF
See f.e. https://symbl.cc/en/unicode-table, very convinient to my mind.
