I've noticed toAlgo ports come with some unicode characters, the code window its self even shows the symbols and they can be copy-pasted. Given there are no fonts, I can't just use windings or what not. What characters does the platform support and where can I get a list of codes to paste in?
public static string GetArrowByCode(int code) { switch (code) { case 0: return string.Empty; case 32: return " "; case 33: return "✏"; case 34: return "✂"; case 35: return "✁"; case 40: return "☎"; case 41: return "✆"; case 42: return "✉"; case 54: return "⌛"; case 55: return "⌨"; case 62: return "✇"; case 63: return "✍"; case 65: return "✌"; ... etc

Thank you! Turns out the default windows alt +{code} is a different set to the ones in example.
To get the ones seen (and many more) check out this list http://unicode-table.com/en/#box-drawing
To get a symbol, open wordpad and type the symbol code then immediately press alt+x. The code should be converted, then copy-paste in to calgo.

Dear Trader,
cAlgo.API supports Unicode characters. You are able to use windings and draw them into your chart. The following indicator illustrates such an example: /algos/indicators/show/253
By just searching on the Web you can easily find several lists showing the codes of the windings in unicode. We hope this helps you.
