Windows 10: Windows Character Map customisation

Is there a way to create custom groups in Character Map program. As an engineer I use quite ofter special characters but I forget some shortcuts so it would be nice If I could leave Character Map with handpicked characters open on my secondary monitor.

NB: since it is my work computer I do not habe admin privilages (can not create private characters)

Character Map

Hi Susan,

Thank you for writing to Microsoft Community Forums.

To have better clarity on the issue, answer the below listed questions and get back to us.

1. Did you make any changes to the PC prior to this issue?
2. Does this issue occur on Microsoft Edge, Internet Explorer, or any other browser?
3. Once the text disappears, are you able to undo that by press the 'Ctrl' key and the 'Z' key from your keyboard?

Meanwhile, try the below troubleshooting steps:

Method 1: Check if your Windows is Up-to-date.

Go to Settings > Update and Security >
Windows Updates and install all the Windows Updates if there are any.

Method 2: Use a different browser

Use a different browser to access Gmail and see if you are facing the same issue.

Method 3: Adding the characters manually from Character Map.

Step 1: Click on the
Start Menu and search for Character Map and hit
Enter.

Step 2: Once the
Character Map launches, look for the character that you want to add >
Select that character and click on Copy.

Step 3: Go to the email that
you want to add the character and paste the character by pressing the ‘Windows’ key and the ‘V’ key from your keyboard and see if the characters are disappearing.

​Hope it helps.

Private Character Created but Missing in Character Map

Hi, I am trying to make custom characters in windows Private Character Editor, but when I try to find "All Fonts" in Character Map to access my custom character, it isn't there. These are the steps I followed:

In Private Character Editor

>File

>Font Links...

>Select 'Link with All Fonts'

>OK

Open Character Map

>Select 'All Fonts' from dropdown (I can't do because my dropdown list does not have the option to select 'All Fonts')

>Find and select the Private Character I just created, and copy into a text-based document
