Inventor Table Insert Depth Symbol With ALT Character Code

I am trying to insert the depth symbol into a general table and cannot find the ALT code or any other means of being able to insert it. I am doing this because I want one Hole Table for my part but it has holes in different views, if they would just fix this problem I would need to worry!ha ha. Thank you in advance for any help.

You should be able to get any symbol you need from the Windows Character Map.

It will not let you "paste" anything in a general table as far as I can tell.

I take it back. It gave me an x and not the depth symbol. I just tried to paste it here and it gave me this x .

 I tried this and I get the same result, lowercase x.

Note sure if setting up a text style to use the font you are copying from will work with a table or not.

I tried it and I can't get it to work.

The font that you select from the character map has to match the font that will go in the table (as defined in Inventor's styles and standards), otherwise who knows what you'll get.

Got it to work by setting up a text style AIGDT, add a table style and use that text style for the table.
