Delta symbol needed in curve labels LD 2005

[rtarrant]

Does anyone know what the extended character formula is for the delta symbol (triangle)? I can't seem to find anything that works with the simplex font in curve labels.

thanks,

Unicode strings such as \U+0394 don't work in Curve labels - only in Mtext. And you can't Mtext edit curve labels either. Thanks for replying.

I actually found the solution on my own late last night.... it's {delta symbol} if anyone else needs it. :-) It doesn't look like it's going to work when you're in the Edit Label Styles dialog box but it actually does work when you add the labels in your drawing.
