Dear fellow fedora users,
In including a soccer ball character in Unicode, I have found
https://www.fileformat.info/info/unicode/char/26bd/index.htm
And it works. I try to include in latex document and the character does not show up. I have tried different variations after \documentclass{article} \usepackage[utf8]{inputenc}
And none seem to work. Is there an easy way to include Unicode chars in latex.
use xelatex

How do I invoke it? I have texlive 2017 full scheme installed. I just use old latex+dvips+ps2pdf to create documents.
Invoking it is not the problem (just say 'xelatex yourtexfile.tex'). But I'd be surprised if this solved your problem. First, xelatex is not exactly tex, so you'll probably have to change a few things at least in the preamble of your document. Second, you need a font with the soccerball character in it. If I had this problem, I'd use google.
