I'm looking to find a unicode character that looks like ≪ or ≫ but rotated 90º and 270º to use in a GUI to signify something can be dragged vertically.
Does anybody know of a character like this?
How about:
︽ PRESENTATION FORM FOR VERTICAL LEFT DOUBLE ANGLE BRACKET (U+FE3D)
︾ PRESENTATION FORM FOR VERTICAL RIGHT DOUBLE ANGLE BRACKET (U+FE3E)
Well if you are looking for unicode characters here you have all http://www.tamasoft.co.jp/en/general-info/unicode.html
i dont know if there are ones that you are looking for but for example you have arrows in row 2B00 also i saw few eariler
As far as I can see there aren't any symbols that you want.
But it might be appropriate for you to use the varios other arrow symbols that are defined starting at U+2190 (←). For example U+21d3 is ⇓.
Under Windows you may use the charmap Tool with font set to Arial Unicode. Or have a look here: http://www.utf8-chartable.de/unicode-utf8-table.pl?start=8592
I'll put this here.
Just in case ツ

I have started to use tmux and noticed that the lines that seperate the different panes are not entirely straight, instead there are small bumps. I think it might have something to do with the font, my thought is that characters from one "character-field" are overlapping into the next, which creates the little bumps. Does anyone know how I can fix this and get a straight line without bumps?
The font I use: Menlo

The problem was actually the terminal emulator I used, Alacritty, which lets some characters reach outside of their cell. To solve this issue, I switched to Kitty, which has better support for preventing characters from overflowing into other cells.
Is there a way to change a space between characters? Some ttf font strings look very compressed.
The maximum closest thing I've managed to find is cc.FontDefinition
But it doesn't look like it contains anything specific I need.
As far as I know there is no method to change space between characters but you can change letters position via accessing it.
label.getLetter(index);
returns the character as a sprite. And then you can set its position.
I have parsed a pdf document in Ruby with PDF::Reader. The bullet point of the pdf file appears in my parsed text as a strange cube with F0B7 inside like this (I also attached a print screen):
__
|F0|
|B7|
I would like to know if I can match this "bullet point" with regex and if so, what would be the appropriate way to do it? I have absolutely no idea to tackle this issue as I am not even sure that this is part of the string in the first place. Thanks.
This is a unicode symbol with codepoint F0B7.
Unfortunately your Ubuntu installation has a default font that misses that glyph, and when glyph is missing in the font definition, the common approach is to draw it’s codepoint in a square.
The regexp to match it would be:
/\uF0B7/
I want to have a subscript and superscript in my GUI in Matlab. So far I have tried to use x_2 and x^2 and neither of them work. Is there anyone who knows how to do this?
Thanks in advance!

You can use an undocumented feature of all Matlab uicontrols, which is
the fact that they use underlying Java Swing controls, and these in
turn accept any valid HTML strings. So you can do the following for
example:
uicontrol('string','<html><b>1<sub>2</sub>3<sup>4</sup>5</b></html>')
This is equivalent to the tex string '\bf1_23^45\rm'. You can set font
faces, colors, sizes, bold/italic and any other valid HTML 3.0
property. It's limited, but should do the trick in most conceivable
cases.
The same is true for tooltips, by the way: try setting multi-line
(<br>) multi-colored (<font color="red"> ... </font>) tooltip once and
you'll never use the standard boring single-line black tooltip
again...
And just in case you were wondering - yes, it also works for menus,
listboxes etc.
I'm looking for a character that is just like • but an open circle (Maybe even a bigger bullet and it's open counterpart.) Does anybody know if there are such characters?
I think you could use BULLET (U+2022) and WHITE BULLET (U+25E6):
• Bullet
◦ White Bullet
If you have a look at http://www.asciitable.com/ you see some circles in the extended ascii part. (e.g. 167, 248)
String name = Character.toString((char)8226);
System.out.println("name "+name);
will work fine in java
Use this (COMBINING ENCLOSING CIRCLE): ⃝
There's ASCII 186 which is the masculine ordinal indicator, or you can use the degree sign which is ASCII 176.
