How to save symbols

Question

I am able to insert symbols from various fonts into my Excel spreadsheet, but I am unable to save them. Excel replaces them with question marks.

What process do I use to save the symbols so I can share them with others?

Hi @CraigMI1290, could you please share the file? Are you inserting symbols from the web or from the Office built-in symbols menu?

Maciej_KopczynskiI'm using the Office built-in menus. I've tried using symbols from a couple of different fonts but none of them will save. One of them is Arial and another is Calibri. &nbsp;

Strange. Is it happening to all symbols that you are trying to insert? And also what is your default font in Excel?

Maciej_KopczynskiIt's happening to all the symbols. They show up when I insert them but are replaced with question marks after I try to save. The default font is Ariel.
