Without seeing the drawing I can only guess while holding down the Alt key they entered 154 before releasing the Alt key which added the Ü.

Alt+154 Ü

Alt+153 Ö

Alt+144 É

The Extended Characters aren't standardized so while Alt+211 returns ╙ on this website I'm sure it worked as expected with the font used in that drawing's text.

You can also use the Windows Character Map which displays the Alt+ number on the lower-right of a selected character. This macro will open it:

^C^C^P(progn(startapp "Charmap.exe")(princ)) 

I use the Command Name: Character Map

with the attached image for a quick reference in my Annotation tab.

thanks  tombu for response. but my real problems of the drawings is to view drawing as the readable text details but not as character map.

Otil 1st if you look at the ascii code for each character in the string (ascii strchar) any number above 127 is an extended character so could remove from the string. I would (repeat (strlen str) then use a (subst str x 1) to get each character test and rejoin using (strcat .

 

Stephen1 are you talking about Mtext it supports color for say 1 word 1 character etc. Yes you can make mtext with certain text having a color.
