adding special symbols in lyx

Hi!
I am new to LyX and there is just one feature I need to write my text. I need to add these symbols regularly in my text: â†”â†‘â†’â†“

Just wondering if anyone could help me with this! I am using windows!

Thank you in advance!

Hi nicenice,

welcome to the board!
Here you can see the code of those symbols you mentioned:

Code: Select all

$\leftrightarrow\uparrow\rightarrow\downarrow$

Just to make sure: in LyX, put in an ERT-field and insert the code from above into it.
