Good Day
I would like some assistance to add a Numero Sign for a ZPL label. I have looked at the Page 850 and other symbols from the ZPL Programmers guide and have not found the symbol. Please assist.
Kind regards

The UTF8 encode of Numero Sign (№) is 0xE2 0x84 0x96. You need to use the proper encoding in the ZPL in order to printer. The following example should print the Numero Sign for you.

^XA
^CI28
^FO10,30
^A0,20,20
^FH^FDNumero Sign = _E2_84_96^FS
^XZ

You may need to install a font to get symbols that are not in the fonts that are pre-installed.  I'm fairly sure that none of the standard pre-installed fonts for US printers have that symbol.  If you recieved a printer for Europe or Asia, it might have additional fonts pre-installed.  You can print a font list by sending:

^XA^WDE:*.FNT^WDE:*.TTF^WDZ:*.FNT^WDZ:*.TTF^XZ
