XML text string, How to display percent symbol?

[Jim Robinson 122]

I'm trying to make an EICAS panel gauge and I'd like to label the N1 gauges with the percent symbol since that is how they are marked on the real acft. Not having any luck though because nothing shows up on the gauge when I simply type % as the string. I'm wondering if there is an "escape sequence" or something, similar to those used in HTML for < and > that will display the percent symbol?Of course I could always make a small bitmap of the symbol, but thought I'd ask here first.Thanks for the help,Jim

Try %% - in C++ it works fine.Chris
