Symbols for 2D Labels

2D Labels allows adding text, symbols, and arrows to the display. Symbols and special characters from the free UCS outline fonts can be incorporated by copying (such as from this page) and pasting into the Text field of the 2D Labels dialog. They can also be pasted into Color Key labels.

Many of the supported symbols are provided here. Whether they are properly rendered in this page depends on the web browser and display font, but a symbol can be copied even when it is not rendered properly; it will be shown correctly in the 2D label!

The arrow symbols in this page can only be drawn in the orientations shown, but the Arrows section of 2D Labels allows drawing arrows in any (X,Y) orientation.
