Chr() for Man Symbol

[derekjones]

Hi All

Does anyone know if there is a Chr() for a man symbol (either stick man or the type of man symbol found on Toilet door etc). I've searched high and low and cannot find it. I've found a snowman chr(9731) so a man symbol must exist shouldn't it?

My thanks in advance for any response.

Hi Derek,

I found this:

Unicode Character 'WOMENS SYMBOL' (U+1F6BA)  => chr(128698)

Unicode Character 'MENS SYMBOL' (U+1F6B9)         => chr(128697)

But it will not be displayd..  Maybe you can use these:

Unicode Character 'FEMALE SIGN' (U+2640) => chr(9792)

Unicode Character 'MALE SIGN' (U+2642)   => chr(9794)

Thanks Ralf

That's a shame it won't display. Do you know the font, maybe I can change the font so it can display?

Thanks again

I don't think it's a font related issue.. Maybe you can use an image instead?

Found a workaround, webdings chr(128) is a man symbol. See below for an example of it working in my app...

Thanks again for your help. Got there in the end!

I use Ariel as font.

Question for Derek Jones:

Derek, how did you change the colour of the men within a row? What underlying object are you using please?

Hi Derek,

Am very interested in your stick man graph.  How did you create this?  Is it a liner gauge chart?

I'm quite new to Qlikview so would appreciate it if you can provide more details. 

Thanks

Hi Sim

I've attached a simple example of how I've got it working. As you can see the stick men dynamically change in number to match the number of employees e.g. Select Team A and it shows 5 men and select Team B and it shows only 2.

Hope this helps

Derek
