Perpendicular: type 22A5 then press Alt+X
Parallel: type 2225 then press Alt+X
Perpendicular: type 22A5 then press Alt+X
Parallel: type 2225 then press Alt+X
ok, I tried that, but it didn't work. Where are you supposed to type in "22A5"? I thought it was in the symbols code field...
Just type 22a5 directly into your document (there should not be one of the letters a-f or a digit 0-9 before it) then press Alt+X.
Activate the Insert tab of the ribbon.
Click Symbol > More Symbols...
Select a Unicode font such as 'Arial Unicode MS' from the Font dropdown.
Make sure that 'Unicode (hex)' is selected in the from: dropdown in the lower right corner of the dialog (above the Insert and Cancel buttons).
The 'degree' symbol can be found in the 'Latin-1 Supplement' subset.
The 'angle' symbol can be found in the 'Mathematical Operators' subset.
Thank you!
