Trigonometry typing characters
When I want to insert a symbol (math or otherwise):
- I go to INSERT > Symbol in Storyline.
- I find the character I want. For your sample, I chose Cambria Math as the font, then scrolled to the Angle symbol.
- I double click to add it.
- It's automatically added to Recent, so next time you open symbols, you won't need to search for it.
Make sure you're using a font that your users will have already installed, otherwise you need to deal with how to provide them with the font. I've never done it yet, but there are instructions available if you do a search.

Thank you so much! Cambria Math was game changer for a few of the symbols I needed!
FYI, some symbols (though not that one) can be easier to type if you insert your symbol, change the font to Arial and see what character it displays.
e.g. I use a triangle as a bullet point. It's "4" but in Webdings. So, when I make my lists, I can type:
4 Item A
4 Item B
4 Item B
and follow up by changing all the 4s to Webdings.
