I'd be interested in hearing if anyone is using OCR Scanning software which allows you at the OCR proofing stage to enter a Unicode value for a particular character found. For example, many documents these days use a telephone symbol. These are usually either Unicode 260E for a Black telephone, or Unicode 260F for a white telephone. (You can enter these in Word by entering the Unicode number, then immediately pressing Alt x) I want to be able to enter a Unicode Value into the OCR's character field when it queries what a character is, and so far it appears that neither Abbyy nor Omnipage allow this.
