Display ▲ and ▼ in Button

[Diesel]

I want to display the ▲ and ▼ characters on a button, but it keeps coming up as a □. Do i have to use an encoding class?

Not sure why it wouldn't show up. I've always just used an image file for my WinForms buttons for arrows. There's some basic ones in the "C:\Program Files\Microsoft Visual Studio .NET 2003\Common7\Graphics\icons\arrows" folder (assuming you have VS2003 and installed to default location).

Not exactly answering your question, but it's how I've handled this problem....

p and q in Wingdings 3 will give you some arrows.
I don't think Button supports showing Unicode text.

Thanks, both solutions work fine
