Good Morning,

While I can insert all "Apple Symbols" glyphs on InDesign, (via glyph pannel) I'm unable to do so in Illustrator. Some of the glyphs are getting a question marks in a black diamond shape (view screenshot). Can't figure it out.

Mac OS 10.14.6

Illustrator 2021

Please Help 🙂

Thank you!

I'm sorry, it's my fault, I meant insert and not type. I fixed it my main post title.

OK, I thing I figured it out.

It's because I'm using the Middle Eastern version, and although I was sure I selected Adobe Par. Single Line Composer, I now see that it was on Adobe World Ready Single Line Composer. Once I change that, it works OK.

Do you think it should have worked in both composers?

Thank you everybody 🙂

Inserting them by double clicking the glyphs in the Glyph panel works for me.

Illustrator 25.01 same Mac OS.

Thank you, but as you see in my screenshot, it didn't work for me, at list not with the ones I tried accept from the first glyph... Did you try similar glyphs or jsut any glyph? It does work with some of them, but not all of them...

The second one from left (shift icon) for instance is GID 997

Thank you

I did try similar glyphs, but the ones you are missing don't have a unicode in the panel.

I tried with Preferences > Type > Enable Missing Glyphs Protection on and off but that did not make a difference.
