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, see http://www.fileformat.info/info/unic...ics/images.htm Yves "Kearl" wrote in message ...

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. On Apr 22, 9:49*am, "Yves Dhondt" wrote: Yes. In Word, type 24C1 (, select it,) and press ALT+X.

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. Yves "Peter T. Daniels" wrote in message ... You don't need to select it.

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. On Apr 22, 11:04*am, "Yves Dhondt" wrote: Not selecting only works if the character in front of the code can not be seen as part of the code.

Please try things out if you are not sure on how they work...
Type 524C1 followed by ALT+X and see what happens. According to your statement, only 24C1 should be processed as a 5 is clearly not a 1 or 2. Type 000050 followed by ALT+X and see what happens. According to your statement, only 4 or 5 digits should be processed though Word replaces all 6 digits with a 'P'. Type 456 followed by ALT+X and see what happens. According to your statement, it shouldn't be doing anything as 3 digits is less than 4. I do get an '?' as Word automatically adds a leading zero. Type 50 followed by ALT+X and see what happens. According to your statement, it shouldn't be doing anything as 2 digits is less than 4. I do get a 'P' as Word automatically adds two leading zeros. Yves "Peter T. Daniels" wrote in message ...

I did try them before posting. Are you referring to strings at the
beginning of a file (or perhaps the beginning of a paragraph)? With regard to OP's query, the code does not need to be selected.

Are there symbols for medical terminology?
How would you know? Maybe the OP intended to type 5symbol in which case he
would have to select it. It doesn't really matter if it is the start of a document or not. If you type "abc 000050" followed by ALT+X you will get "abc P" (6 digits converted). If you type "abc 50" followed by ALT+X you will also get "abc P" and if you type "abc00050" followed by ALT+X, you will get "abc00050030". That is, the last 0 is transformed to its unicode value: 0030. It's like I indicated in my orginal reply by using brackets: it might work without selecting anything, but if it doesn't, just select the part you want converted and it will always work.
