  1. Compile the  struct samples in FDK11

2.Open with “Framemaker11”

3.Insert characters as below in FM11

4.Some of characters shows as “?” （eg： ）。 Also ， after save and close， reopen it， some of the characters shows as “?” too.

Please help me solve the problem, so that we will not show “?” after reopen it.

    It looks like you are relying on the legacy Symbol font. Does your generation process create a Character Format that applies that format to the text?

    It seems like it would be a lot less trouble to choose a reasonably well populated Unicode font (Arial Unicode MS if you have to), and use the Unicode code point for that symbol (u\21d0).

    Thank you for your answer!

    I want to insert the special character using FrameMakeer(eg: ➡).  After save and reopen , I only want to show right character instead of messy code.

    By the way, "Arial Unicode MS" is same with the  " Arial " ? If not, how could I get "Arial Unicode MS"?

    With unicode aware versions of FM, you should be using the supplied unicode aware SymbolStd OTF font instead of the old non-unicode Symbol font. It is in the FrameMaker \fminit\fonts\adobe folder.
