Does anyone know the proper PCL5 command sequence for printing a Unicode character, such as U+2022 (a bullet character)?

My latest attempt uses:

ESC + "(18N" + ! Unicode Symbol Set
ESC + "(s1p15v0s0b16901T" + ! Times New Roman font
ESC + "&t83P" + ! Text Parsing Method: UTF-8
"&hE280A2"+ ! hex'E280A2' = U+2022
ESC + "&t0P" ! Text Parsing Method: Single characters

- Am I specifying the right symbol set?
- Does it matter which font I use? If so, which font supports Unicode bullets?
- Can the text parsing method be turned on and off in the middle of a document? Or must it be set once at the beginning of the doc?

I would appreciate any help. Thank you.

I was going to suggest that you see what a typical Windows PCL driver does by creating a printer using a PCL driver connected to the FILE: device, then print a GDI file containing a bullet, e.g.

That does print a bullet character (both in the APEX preview and on paper), but when I tried outputting it to the FILE: device, I ended up with a file 24 blocks long, and I couldn't find the bullet in it.

Thanks for trying. I'm going to fall back on plan B, using a PCL macro created from a Word doc and filling in the blanks.

i've found that using the windows 3.1 symbol set "(19U" then followed by ascii extended character, decimal 149 for bullet i believe, to work

Thank you, whatever your name is from Valli Information Systems. Your solution is far simpler than mine and yours works perfectly!!!
