XCircuit table of special text characters


This page under construction.
This file lists all of the text characters available to XCircuit. Special text characters are entered from the keyboard by typing a backslash (\) during text entry, typing the name of the special character in column 4 or 5 of the table, and typing <RETURN> to continue with the text editing.

Most of the names follow naming conventions for mathematical symbols in the program TeX (LaTeX). Occasionally additional alternate names are included where the TeX names are considered to cryptic, or where certain common names seem more obvious, easier to remember, and/or faster to type.

Alternately, the decimal character code may be entered after typing a backslash. The code, if used, must be decimal (base 10) and must be exactly three digits long (i.e., numbers under 100 must be preceded by '0'). After the 3-digit code is typed, text entry will continue without the necessity of typing the return key.

Below is a table of special characters listing the character, character code, font name if a special font is required, the backslash name accepted by xcircuit, and alternate names accepted by xcircuit (if any).
