Arrow codes out of range 33 to 255 cannot be used.

How can an indicator plot the above special codes??
eg the "En Dash symbol (–)"

what your looking at are the arrows that will point at the price they are set to, and are used with indicator buffers, theres a lot more arrows avaialble but they are used with objects not buffers and the point that is referanced is not the point that it will acually point to but the point that the anchor of the graphic objcets, not were they actually point too.

You have a lot more arrow options available but they are applied as objects. If you go to the Windows/System32/ directory and look for an executable program called 'chamap.exe' it can be used to see all the fonts styles available on your computor theres some that are all arrows of different types. you may want to make a short cut on your disk top it is useful when ever you work with graphics. see the screen shot
