Paul, It is for displaying from in-image for a desktop GUI. I assumed I did have a capable font installed (I could copy the ANGLE character from a web page into OpenOffice) but I could determine which font nor see the character in any of the many font tables I reviewed. Most fonts were missing the U+2220 character. Helene, It helped a lot seeing the U+2220 code in your screen snapshot. At least I could confirm that the fonts I was looking at not contain it (the Menlo font is not on Windows 7). Eventually google brought me to [1] & [2] from which choosing the system font as DejaVu allowed the following script to display the ANGLE character. ---- char := Character value: 16r2220. wideString := String with: char. wideString inspect. ---- [1] http://www.fileformat.info/info/unicode/char/2220/index.htm [2] http://www.fileformat.info/info/unicode/char/2220/fontsupport.htm thanks for your time, cheers -ben Paul DeBruicker wrote:
Do you have a font on your computer or better yet in Pharo that can display it? Where do you want to display it (web, image, etc) ?

What are my options for displaying such a symbol?

Check the "Use FreeType..." Checkbox in the Settings Browser, then select a Font that includes this Symbol. On my Mac i just used Menlo that comes with the System. See attached screenshot:
