[oXygen-user] How to type an UTF8 symbol in text as well as in author mode

[Bernhard Kleine]

The UTF8 table at
http://www.utf8-zeichentabelle.de/unicode-utf8-table.pl?start=8592 shows
this first four lines.

Unicode
Codepos. 	Zeichen 	UTF-8
(hex.) 	Name
U+2190 	← 	e2 86 90 	LEFTWARDS ARROW
U+2191 	↑ 	e2 86 91 	UPWARDS ARROW
U+2192 	→ 	e2 86 92 	RIGHTWARDS ARROW
U+2193 	↓ 	e2 86 93 	DOWNWARDS ARROW

When I tried to change a utf8 hex value in a simple doc, using
Ctrl-Shift-X, I get:

(not a valid hexadecimal sequence to change)

I also tried the 0x1F926 from Bens example below. The same error. What
do I wrong?

These arrows would be a good example since they will be used.

Regards

Bernhard
