    Cool Special Characters - Perpendicular

    I'm looking for a PERPENDICULAR symbol or special character. Thus far, I haven't found one in AutoCAD Help or Microsoft Office Character Codes. Running AutoCAD 2008.
    Thanks,
    Steve

    Not exactly what I had in mind, but it may work. I had pictured the same symbol as the AutoCAD OSnap, sort of like a straightback chair.

    Thankyou very much though,

    Autocad gdt font lower case "b" is as close as I've found.

    Good question. I tried to cheat by exploding a gdt box.
    Not working.

    Closest thing I could find is ALT + 28 (∟). Looks more like a right angle symbol though.

    Like this? ( | ) Underscore two nonbreaking spaces pipe symbol (|) and two more nonbreaking spaces. Ctrl+Shift+Spacebar for nonbreaking space. Looks the same as Autocad gdt font lower case "b".

    Lucida Sans Unicode \U+02D4 ˔ or \U+2534 would also work.
