Onenote and special unicode characters

U

undisclosed

So I love onenote's method for entering unicode characters. It'
intuitive and efficient, and until today I thought it would be able t
handle any unicode character I had the font for. But now I've found
problem I can't seem to figure out a workaround for: exotic character
not covered by the Tahoma or Cambria Math fonts. As many of you probabl
know, if you use the XXXX+AltX method of entering unicode, onenot
sometimes switches the font of the character, probably because whateve
font you're using doesn't have it. Although this can be annoyin
sometimes, especially when the font doesn't switch back as I continu
typing, I can see why they put it in, and it doesn't seriously impede m
note taking.

However, I recently found myself needing to insert a left and righ
double turnstile character (looks like =||=) while taking notes fo
logic class. Oh joy, I thought, another unicode to add to my repertoire
But when I found the code (27DA) and tried to put it in, I got one o
those frustrating little boxes with a question mark in it (in th
cambria math font). I was a little annoyed that onenote was missing thi
character seeing as it has many other logic symbols, but I decided t
solve the problem once and for all by installing the code 200
pan-unicode font, which is pretty ugly but should have gotten the jo
done. Only after installing it did I realize I could not figure out
way to switch my useless little box-with-a-?-mark from Cambria math t
code 2000; the font selector just jumps backs to the old font when I tr
to change it, meaning there's no way for me to enter unicode the norma
way for weird characters

Does anyone know an alternative way to do this? Not being able to us
the whole range of unicode symbols wouldn't be the wisest design choic
even for a word processor, but for note taking software it's simpl
criminal
