Inserting symbols( arrows etc) into a text box

[jennyek2000]

I am writing an application in which the user should be able to insert symbols into text boxes - which will be then be transmitted to a digital display. The symbols should at least include arrows. So for example they might right click on the text box and select a symbol which will then be displayed.

What I need to know is how do I display symbols on the edit box. Do I have to use unicode? do I have to use a particular font? At the moment I am using Courier. Is it at all possible?

I think both wasy are correct.

And the easiest way is changing the font name and the charset.

That is what I do to see the password fields like windows do.
