Symbols on Forms
If I want to include an available symbol option on a form, I see they automatically include words that describe the meaning of each symbol.
Is there a way to include the symbol without the descriptive words?

There currently isn't a way to hide the text next to a symbol when this column is used in a Form (please submit your Enhancement Request to the Product team through this form, here!)
If you have different descriptors, I would suggest making sure that your "Help Text" under the label in the form explains what you want the symbols to represent. Another option would be to use a text drop-down column and then in your sheet use a formula to translate that into the matching symbol.
Cheers,
Genevieve

I hope you're well and safe!
Here's a possible workaround or workarounds
You can use other symbols by using UNICHAR, CHAR, or Emojis.

Would that work/help?
I hope that helps!
Be safe and have a fantastic week!

Hi all, I used some emojis for a drop down but they do not show up on the PDF reports even though they show up on the screen, would anyone know why they don't show up when pdfd? @Andrée Starå @Genevieve P. Thanks

Hi @BESP10
This is currently expected for emojis. In a similar question we came up with a formula to populate the text word instead of an emoji if that helps, see:

Yes!
Here's an example.
=COUNTIFS(Emoji:Emoji, "⭐")
Make sense?
I hope that helps!
