works for me, but the VIEWDATA SQUARE (U+2317) is not the "right" symbol for sharp https://www.compart.com/en/unicode/U+2317 you actually want this one instead => https://www.compart.com/en/unicode/U+266F
sorry, i wasn't clear there. i didn't mean a literally (musical) sharp but a simple diamond, as ingo in his first mail wanted to have printed on a canvas or any other PD GUI.
neither of our approaches is a "real" sharp/diamond/hash key/pound key/raute ... (= ASCII 35), but just a workaround to visually achieve what's not possible ATM in PD itself
[list fromsybol] gives me "226 153 175" for this character, please try it.
thanks, yeah ! great to have a real musical sharp here !
best
