Hi ,

it worked and able to save the values in DB also but there are some special characters like ζδΥεαβα₁α₂α₁аα₁ь .
i am able to save the above special characters values into DB but unfortunately those values are not appearing PDF while generating PDF.
instead of exact values(selected special characters ) the field in PDF displaying with ## (Hash )values.

Hi Siva,

Can you try using CDATA while generating PDF?

Thanks,
Satya Andra.

I believe Aditya GIll's advice above is OK to try - but I recommend, for further precise control, you call the unicode characters directly with Appian's "char()" function. I would consider creating an expression rule where you pass in the number you want superscripted / subscripted and it passes out the unicode character. This will help ensure that the different characters you use are, for example, the correct character and all from a consistent character set (i notice that the list of Superscript characters listed above seem to be from at least 2 different sets).

This page has a list of all the subscript and superscript numbers in unicode. To get the character code for each one you need to click into it and look for the html / decimal codes. For example, the character code for superscript 4 is 8308.

char(8308)

Please try these characters

Subscript ₀₁₂₃₄₅₆₇₈₉
Superscript ⁰¹²³⁴⁵⁶⁷⁸⁹

Thanks

Hi Siva,

AFAIK, It is not possible to display something like this in any Appian interface.
