'Escape Unicode Control Commands in AutoCAD Text Field

How do you escape the Unicode control commands in a text line? I have a string "%%P123" I want my text line to show but it keeps coming out as "±123" because %%P is treated as the plus/minus symbol



Solution 1:[1]

Use %%%%P123, but you'll have to edit the Contents property through the Properties Palette, as the standard TEXT command will automatically evaluate a double %%.
