Yes, that is the symbol. My original document is a pdf that I downloaded from a website. In the document properties is says it was produced with Acrobat Distiller Daemon 3.02b for Solaris 2.3 and later (SPARC).
I am using Adobe Acrobat 5.0, with Windows 2000 Professional. I have tried exporting and it deletes the symbol. Save as .rtf changes it into _. Cut and paste changes it into a hollow square. ???
