I am trying to add special characters (different types of Dots as seen on the last row.

Special Characters in Windows Character Map

This works but I would like to use a string of letters

#+d::Send {U+25CF} ; dot solid

I tried using this - but it does not work

:R*?:dot1::Send {U+25CF} ; dot solid

Does anyone know how to get it working?

You might be looking for AutoHotKey Hotstrings, also known as auto-replace hotstring.

The AutoHotKey syntax for your case will be:

::dot1::{U+25CF}

Pay special attention to the "Ending Characters" section of the documentation, listing how these strings are to be terminated.

  • Thank you! It resolved the issue. But I am still not able to understand why the first one is working and and not the other one.

    It seems to be correct by the documentation, but apparently AHK does not appreciate this combination.

    Perhaps using #Hotstring will work better.
