Unicode Characters Showing Up - Help turn them off please!

Anonymous

My office recently updated to Revit 2018.  We have a project with multiple sheets with the same number and name.  We have been using unicodes successfully in the previous version of Revit to get around having multiple sheets with the same number.  With this upgrade, the unicodes now show up even when "Show Unicodes" is not checked.  Has anyone found a solution to this?  We frequently are using multiple sheet sets in the same model and I would hate to go back to using Revit like Autocad and manually typing in all my view tags and sheet names (and schedules).

A few of Unicode characters down the bottom will not show such US, RS.  I had to replace LRM or RLM with those.

Yes, I was able to come up with a list of six characters I am still able to use.  Unfortunately, I am in need of 13 if possible.  I was hoping to find a solution that will keep them off like in previous versions of Revit.

You can add more than one Unicode characters together to create 13 of them.  In fact I only need one working Unicode character to create as many variants as I want.

Hi @ToanDN I am facing issues with export PDF option in revit. I have exported sheet into pdf but Unicode character specified for a dimension is visible in pdf. So even after changing it to US it is not as per the requirement as it is showing empty box. So can you please tell me how to turn off that option so that it is invisible in pdf after exporting. 

 

Please find the snip for your reference. Thanks in advance.
