Source of special symbols

[GINGE]

I am trying to reconstruct some diagrams from the 1960s.
I am trying to insert special characters - y diaeresis (U+0021), x diaeresis and z diaeresis. I have found U=0021 but cannot find a code for x or z. Some guidance would be greatly appreciated. David >74 yrs young.

Hi,
I found ẍ (U+1E8D) and Ẍ (U+1E8C) but not z with diaeresis or Z with diaeresis.

G'day from Down Under,

Thanks for your prompt and useful reply. I will certainly delve into U codes a bit more.
Actually I created my own work-around - I am creating some small dwgs in DraftSight - by putting 'x' on one layer and '..' on another layer, suitably positioned.​

You could create a block from your 2 characters "x" & "..".

Type "bmake", or you can get to it through the menus, though I don't recall exactly how. You pick the objects you want in the block, then you have to pick an insertion point. When you need it, you just insert the block.

To TR1TX,

thank for your additional advice. I will certainly investigate the command(s) you suggest.
