IsSymbolEncoded

Gets a value indicating whether this face's character map is symbol-encoded — that is, whether the subtable DocWright maps through is a Microsoft Symbol (3,0) table.

public bool IsSymbolEncoded { get; }

Property Value

bool

Remarks

Such a face addresses its glyphs through the private-use area: Symbol's bullet is reached at U+F0B7 rather than at U+2022, and Wingdings and Webdings behave the same way. The property reports the encoding of the subtable that actually won the selection, not a guess from the family name, so a face carrying both a (3,0) and a Unicode (3,1) subtable reports false: the Unicode subtable is the one codes are mapped through.

This says nothing about what the codes mean. Only the published encodings carry that, and only for the faces PDF standardises; see the text-extraction notes in COMPAT.md.
