Entering unicode characters in a sketch

I'm trying to use unicode character 2675 as a sketch for the type 3 plastic recycling symbol. I have been able to get it to work by hook and by crook. I have not figured out how to directly enter the unicode directly into the sketch.

I've got a true type font that clearly has this character (DejaVu Sans), I added it to Pro/E's font directory, Pro/E recognizes it and I've held down the ALT key while typing +2675 or just 2675 without the +. Both give me a lower case "s". ALT+2673 gives me a lower case q.

I finally fired up the Windoze character map and set it to the DejaVu Sans fault, told it to go to Unicode character 2675 then copied and pasted it into the Pro/E text editing window. It does not look right in that window but the feature looks right!

Anybody know how to directly enter unicode into the text window?
