Around a month ago I started seeing random red dots mixed in between strings of numbers
They're appearing everywhere and I'm not sure what's causing it. When I try and copy and paste text containing the symbols, a couple of spaces usually show up in place of the red dots. Does anyone have any idea what could be causing this? It's driving me crazy 😫
Can you paste it into Google and search for the symbol? (Even if it only shows up as a space).
Alternatively: Can you paste it into Microsoft Word, then select it and change font? Try every font you have. Tip: Start from the top (e.g. Arial) and then just press the mouse down-key repeatedly. You can go through hundreds of fonts in just a few seconds.
Hello cxeeoou -
Welcome to Windows Ten Forums!
May I ask where are you experiencing this?
Looks like a Pin Pad.
Thanks.
Okay I tried copy and pasting it into Google and some other characters showed up plus the word 'call' . The character only appears in output fields such as on Zapier Airtable, or any other view only field but any fields I can input and edit characters the red dot graphic thing disappears
When I copy and paste the above number from the Zapier output field I get "118701Call 6230068312 6230068312"

Indeed, it looks like a dial pad. I searched for "dial pad ascii", "dial pad alt code", "dial pad character" but didn't find it. Glad it was resolved!
