In setting a Column rule, I have set the rule to Always Use a specific font, Wingdings, for data in that column. (Regular fonts elsewhere). But when I import an Excel sheet that has a Wingdings up arrow in it, I get an O with a slash when writing to a temporary or permanent PDF file. But it correctly outputs the up arrow when writing to a Word file.
Is there any fix so that outputting to PDFs will recognize the Wingding font?
Also, is there any way to embed a character code in Alteryx output using the Formula or other tools?
Thanks.

Unfortunately, Alteryx doesn't appear to render WingDings very well to PDFs.
The rending of WingDings to PDF is a common issue across the internet with other programs as well.
My thoughts would be to write to Word first then run a script that'll convert your word Document into a PDF.
