character map and lisp

[m.voss.alvine]

i am looking to run a find & replace from a lisp.  I am looking to replace mtext with a special character from the character map.  Example - replace %%C with Ø.  I have the find & replace lisp.  having trouble defining the special character.

Try THIS routine by CadStudio, and its SRXTEXT2 command. Read the txt file for some examples.

It works, tried it.

This is the way for that capital-O-with-a-slash character in a FIND command:

That's a backslash, capital U, plus sign, and 00D8 [those are two zeros].

For other special characters, in the Text Editor ribbon in newer versions there's a Symbol button [with a @ over the word] -- pick that, pick Other... at the bottom, find the character you want and pick it, and at the bottom of the dialog box it shows the U+ code [without showing the necessary backslash].
