Unicode shows different symbol in PDF vs RTF

Lingjiao — Wed, 05 Dec 2018 23:37:07 GMT

Hi Everyone, I need to output "≠" ( not equal to ) symbol in my report (both RTF and PDF). I am using ${Unicode 2260} to generate this symbol. RTF shows the "≠" but PDF output shows something else ""`" . Anybody knows why??

Thanks in advance!

Provide short example code including a data step that duplicates this behavior. The example should include ODS options used for both destinations.

I tried and my result shows the same character for both ODS RTF and ODS PDF as well as HTML destinations.

Any errors in your log? What OS are you using? Are you moving files between OS?

And last but not least, check your fonts in the PDF, (properties I think) and make sure you're using a font that's available to your PDF reader. And check more than one PDF reader.
