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.
