Unable to make the Mu sign "µ".

[arondlecznar]

I seem to be unable to make the Mu sign "µ" in auto cad. I cant copy paste an existing µ either. It seems to auto set it to the capital version of the Mu sign which is 'M'. How can I fix this? This has been a recent problem, within the last 2 weeks or so. Thank you!

ps- I know the shortcut is alt-230. Alt 230 works on all other applications on my computer, just not Auto Cad.

Greetings @arondlecznar
Which font is your STYLE using? Is that what is different from 2-weeks ago by chance?
And which method did you try so far, and have you tried all the other methods https://www.cadlinecommunity.co.uk/hc/en-us/articles/360002652198-AutoCAD-Insert-a-Symbol-in-Text

Thank you for your reply!  I am using the same text style as always. I have tried all other solutions. I cant seem to figure it out. Its weird how I cant even copy paste from my auto cad space the Mu sign that's in my templates. It just converts it after I hit paste.

I'm at a loss...

Not quite what I asked, perhaps you can find out:

"Which font is your STYLE using?"

You could also try Alt+0181.

But this 2015 thread explains why you're getting an M instead:

@arondlecznar Start an empty MTEXT right click where you would start typing text and make sure that the item ringed is not ticked. This affects both Single line text and MTEXT
