Default Are there symbols for medical terminology?

It looks back exactly four digits (or, if the four digits are preceded
by a 1 or a 2, five digits). If it can't interpret those four (or
five) digits as a code and return the character, it reports the code
number for the character immediately before the cursor. A Unicode code
can't be less than four digits.

Not selecting only works if the character in front of the code can not be
seen as part of the code. Any hexadecimal symbol (0-9,A-F) will be
incorporated in the code.

You don't need to select it. If you put your cursor after any sequence
of 4 or 5 digits that could be a Unicode code, Alt-X will replace it
with the corresponding character.

Yes.


In Word, type 24C1 (, select it,) and press ALT+X. If you need a lower
case
l, use 24DB.


For a list of symbols in the enclosed alphanumerics unicode block,

I need to type "Left" in medical terminology - an "L" in a circle. Can

be done?--
