Fenny,
I think you need to specify the font (i.e. symbol) that you are asking to use.

Highligh the text, then from the Text Settings, select the font that will display the desired symbol. The attached picture shows a plot legend using "symbol" font. Is this what you're after?

I'm using plot multi-xy.vi to plot, and I use "draw text at point.vi" to label my plot, not xy- graph.

Same thing applies in a picture control. You need to define the font that displays the character you desire.

The Draw Text at Point.vi has 2 inputs to define the font. First, at input "desired font" create a control or constant and select User-specified Font. Second, at input [user-specified font] create a control or constant and enter the font which displays the character you desire.

See attached.
