Copy a "glyph" to clipboard

Post by nancyroy »

Hoping someone is around to help.

I love using glyphs.

When I find a glyph I like and right click to copy to the clipboard (to then paste into say Inkscape) an Error message comes up.

I click yes, then the Character menu with a drop down menu appears and "glyphs" are not in that drop down menu.

How do I copy and paste a glyph?

I feel like I am missing something, I've really tried to figure it out.

Even reinstalled.

Thanks for any "step by step" help -thanks!

Click the Unicode icon at the top of the Character Panel.

Thanks for the reply. When I click the red Unicode icon I can view the glyphs, when I select one and then click copy to clipboard that's when I get the error message (The grid must be in character mode... ) and it switches back to the other menu. And I can't see the glyphs nor copy one.
