The current Character Map on Chemdraw (picture 4) (View > Show Character Map Window) is an imitation of the symbols on MSWord(font: symbol. picture 5). Can we get a character map window that is relevant/ customised for chemists and chemistry students. Because the current character map includes blank square 'symbols' at the top two rows.
'downwards' arrow is one I've also been using to represent cleavage sites of P1-P1', so maybe include the other directional arrows too
To be honest, those are the main ones. Hiding in my 'frequently used' menu are also:
tick and cross
arrows (left, right, doublehead, equilibrium and the vertical version some of us old folk use to represent 'reflux' ⥯)
identical to ≡ (for triple bond)
I've drawn out a table of common symbols I've seen/ used in chemistry lectures and publications so far (screenshot 1)
Can we use this opportunity to do a collective brain dump of what the important symbols are?
I'll start:
° (degree sign)
Greek alphabet, lower and upper case
Angstrom symbol
Dagger
Double-dagger
