- Gahh, think typing an alpha symbol doesn't make ur post appear. Anywho, use Character Viewer to create the alpha character.fyoucher1

Orazal, how'd you do that, I've tried copy and pasting it into indesign but it's not coming in, just a box.

I have the alpha symbol up in Character Viewer, but can i find the actual symbol like the pic above, nope :( Anybody any ideas?

I used http://copypastecharacter.com/ to copy and paste the ⍺ character.
My guess is that it doesn't show up in InDesign because the fonts you are using don't support the Greek alphabet.
Try using Open Sans from Google Fonts https://www.google.com/fonts
There is a Script drowpdown menu where you can select Greek. I haven't tested on InDesign yet though.
Let us know if that works.
