Default Where is the centerline symbol for use in Word?

It looks like the Centre Line Symbol that is shown when you are using
certain unicode fonts and you select InsertSymbolFont(normal text)
SubSet(Letterlike Symbols).

If you can tell me what a centerline symbol is supposed to look like,
I can hunt for it in Unicode. The coding makes it sound like a c on
the line crossed by an L that goes below the line? But are they
supposed to look like letters, or are they supposed to be an arc and
two lines?

I do not know of one, but you can create one by typing


c


then hold down the Ctrl Key and press F9 to insert a pair of field
delimiters inside of which you type


ADVANCE \d 2 \l4 * (note that is a lower case L before the 4)


and then outside of the closing } type L


so that you have


c{ ADVANCE \d 2 \l4 }L


Hold down the Alt key and press F9 to toggle off the display of the field
codes. and you will have something that should resemble what you are looking
for. *You may want to adjust the font size of the c and L and also play
around with the offsets 2 and 4
