Entering unicode characters with high numbers
-
Hi
I need to type unicode characters in the editor. I found this page https://community.notepad-plus-plus.org/topic/17775/how-to-quick-insert-unicode-characters-in-notepad and that works fine till number hex: ffff
At the moment I try the next number hex 10000 it won’t work. :(I look up the characters on https://www.janr.be/unicode.php

Getting U+10000 or higher isn’t easy in Notepad++. I think if you search for posts by @guy038 mentioning BMP (Basic Multilingual Plane)… I think that’s what you need.
Or possibly you can just copy/paste the character from your Unicode lookup page.
(Also, your selected don’t in Notepad++ must support the glyph for it to render)

Your option to use the copy/paste is the reason that I added the field/textbox. So I already do that, but it will be easyer is it is possible in Windows everywhere. I think it is a bug in Windows and not something that’s only np++.

Peter confused us all with this, but after a moment of pondering I think his last line was supposed to be:

You are correct. I was posting from my phone and didn’t notice that autocorrect changed “font” to “don’t”. Sorry.
