Missing Symbols/ glyphs When Pasting Thai Text from Excel to Adobe Illustrator

Hi Goo,

I'm glad to hear that the solution I provided has helped in removing formatting issues or unsupported fonts when copying the Thai language from Excel and pasting it into Illustrator.

To answer your question, when you copy text from one application to another, the text often carries with it the formatting from the original application, including font, size, color, and other styling options. Sometimes, the font used in the original application may not be supported in the destination application, causing issues like incorrect display or missing characters.

When you copy the Thai sentences from Excel and paste them into a text editor like Notepad/TextEdit, the formatting and font information are stripped away, leaving only the plain text. Then, when you copy the plain text from the text editor and paste it into Illustrator, it adopts the default font of the text editor or the font of the text selected in Illustrator.

This method works because it removes any formatting issues or unsupported fonts that could cause problems when pasting into Illustrator. It ensures that the Thai text appears correctly in Illustrator and can be edited or stylized as needed.

I hope this explanation helps, but please let me know if you have any further questions or concerns.

Best,

Anshul Saini
