This text override is looking like a code can anyone explain what it is.

Hello Guys,
I am having a query about the text override issue i noticed it when i was working with my Japanese clients.
Anyone Please explain why this code is getting reflected in Rotated dimension override property.
like
<>{\fMS Gothic|b0|i0|c128|p49;\X{\fMS Gothic|b0|i0|c128|p49;(}6{\fMS Gothic|b0|i0|c128|p49;リフト)}}

Instead of
<>\X(6リフト)

I am attaching the picture and drawing file for your more reference.
Thanks in advance,
Pankaj

@pankaj ,

Apart from using "Character Set".

Override Dimension Text

The dimension value that is displayed can be replaced using the DimensionText property. Using this property you can completely replace the displayed value of the dimension, or you can append text to the value. To represent the measured value in the override dimension text, use the character string “<>” in the text.

Text formatting codes in MText objects.

Paragraph texts in AutoCAD can contain control codes which influence appearance of the text. These formatting control codes are automatically inserted in the internal MText editor. But if you edit your texts with an alternative editor (e.g. Notepad), or if you generate them programmatically, you can use these codes to format your paragraph texts.

Code Function

Start underline

Stop underline

Start overstrike

Stop overstrike

Start strike-through

Stop strike-through

New column

New paragraph (new line)

\pi \pxi \pxt

Control codes for bullets, numbered paragraphs, tab stops and columns - e.g. bullets: \pxi-3,l3,t3;, tab stops: \pxt10,t12;

Paragraph wrap on the dimension line (only in dimensions)

Slanting (obliquing) text by angle - e.g. \Q30;

Text height - e.g. \H3x;

Text width - e.g. \W0.8x;

Font selection

e.g. \Fgdt;o - GDT-tolerance
e.g. \Fkroeger|b0|i0|c238|p10 - font Kroeger, non-bold, non-italic, codepage 238, pitch 10

Stacking, fractions

e.g. \SA^B:
A
B
e.g. \SX/Y:
X
Y
e.g. \S1#4:
¼

Alignment

\A0; = bottom
\A1; = center
\A2; = top

Color change

\C1; = red
\C2; = yellow
\C3; = green
\C4; = cyan
\C5; = blue
\C6; = magenta
\C7; = white

Tracking, char.spacing - e.g. \T2;

Non-wrapping space, hard space

{}

Braces - define the text area influenced by the code

Escape character - e.g. \\ = "\", \{ = "{"

Codes and braces can be nested up to 8 levels deep. Formatting codes can be removed via the context menu in the MText editor.
