SYMBOL

Syntax:

SYMBOL field-argument [ switches ]

Description: Retrieves the character whose code point value is specified in decimal or hexadecimal (by using a leading 0x or 0X) by text in field-argument. The formatting switches over ride any formatting applied directly to the result.

The XML generated for a complex field implementation shall not have the optional field value stored.

Field Value: The specified character.

Switches: Zero or more of the following field-specific-switches.

`\a`	Interprets text in field-argument as the value of an ANSI character.
`\f` field-argument	Interprets text in the switch's field-argument as the name of the font from which the character whose value is specified by text in the field's field-argument. By default, the font used is that for the current text run.
`\h`	Inserts the symbol without affecting the line spacing of the paragraph. If large symbols are inserted with this switch, text above the symbol may be overwritten.
`\j`	Interprets text in field-argument as the value of a SHIFT-JIS character.
`\s` field-argument	Interprets text in the switch's field-argument as the integral font size in points.
`\u`	Interprets text in field-argument as the value of a Unicode character.
