Horizontal Hexagon ASCII value not visible in webi

[Former Member]

Hi,

How do i represent Horizontal Hexagon symbol in Webi?

According to this site, Unicode® character table we need to be able to use =char(9108) formula in webi to represent horizontal hexagon symbol.

But when I use this in webi, I am getting a (rectangle box). I tried changing font and also I tried in HTML/Applet and Rich client mode, it's not working anywhere.

You might ask, why do i need this symbol?

I need it to make a flow chart like this: (It's part of requirement and I can't change the symbol.)

Can anyone guide me here.

Thanks & Regards.

Naveen.

what is your BO version? It's coming correctly in the BI 4.1 SP08.

Even if it will come correct then how are you going to display the values?

other option you can try to save this symbol as Image. import image in the webi and on top of that insert blank cells  to display the values.

Hi Amit,

I am using BO 4.1 SP07.

Here are my current WebI preferences.

If the Hexagon comes correct, I was planning to display hexagon first (with 200 or 300 font size) and then on top of it I would add a text box to display the data.

i have tested maximum font size 44 in webi..how you can increase to 300?

I just typed the font size that I needed in the Font Size Box.

Thanks Amit for your help.

It looks like using it as a image is better solution.

Hi Naveen,

Try Using Char(11042) for Filled Hexagon and Char(11041) for outlined Hexagon.

Let us know if that works.

Hi Nikhil,

I am still getting the rectangle box even if i use CHAR(11041) or CHAR(11042).
