I am trying to insert a copyright symbol into a string of text for an
image. I cannot get this to work - if I copy the symbol in from word it
appears in the povray editor, but when rendered appears as a blank
space. I've not found a font where the copyright symbol can be typed in
using the normal keys on the keyboard. I've tried using different fonts
with no luck. Is there a way around this? Can a directly select a
character using it's font and hex code? For example, the copyright
symbol is #00E3 in "symbol.ttf".
Thanx in advance
Bryan

Have you tried setting charset utf-8 in your global settings?
The default charset is ASCII.

That will not help at all as the character he enters won't be a valid UTF-8
character. He needs to either use \u00E3 in the string or use a UTF-8 input
file (not create-able with the POV-Ray editors currently), as explained in
the documentation.

The \uooE3 inside the string worked perfectly. Thank you for your help.
