How to insert symbol from character map in Rise?

Hi there Is there any way to insert symbols from a character map into the text even if it's not available in your current font? For instance, I want to insert the windows key symbol from wingdings...

This is the important part:

Press and hold the ALT key and then enter the numbers:

Once you have entered the numbers let the ALT KEY go and then the symbol will appear.

      Hi Michele,

      If you are using a full-sized keyboard, use the numeric key-pad on the right to enter the numbers.

      Hi Michele, try unicodes. Create in Word first and copy to Rise. Unicode for registered trademark is 00AE, then press Alt X. This is the only way I can get symbols into Rise paragraph text/numbered lists.

        Thanks so much for this tip! I managed to get it working using the Unicode + ALTX tip in Word then cut and paste it into Rise! I needed a Webdings Character so I used this spreadsheet to find the Unicode: http://www.alanwood.net/demos/webdings.html. It's the column maked Hex and its the U + number!
