Tutorial Instructions
Eudcedit.exe is a font editor built in Windows 2000, XP and Vista, which allows private Unicode characters, which can be easily inserted into any file, to be created. EUCD stands for end user defined characters.

Private characters are symbols which only work on the machine on which they're installed and correctly allocated. This may be useful if like a company logos or foreign script have to be frequently included into documents, and I expect it is more efficient than adding many images.

Eudcedit.exe has minimal tools (a few simple shapes, a pencil, a brush and an eraser!), but it does allow a private character to be created in a fairly simplistic manner.

To use Private Character Editor, go to run and enter 'eudcedit.exe'. You can alternatively start it from the system32 directory where it is located in. Once it is open, you have to find an empty code point (an unused Unicode character) to use. Then, it is quite self-explanatory. After the character has been saved, to insert it, use the Character Map, which is built-into the Windows operating system as well. To open the character map, click on start, enter character map and select the program from the list of options. Windows 8 users need to enter character map on the startpage to open it.




Some virus scanners highlight this file as a trojan, but it comes with Windows so that is fairly unlikely.

The University of Heidelberg has a graphical tutorial on eudcedit.exe.

It is definitely worth noting that any characters you make on Private Character Editor will not work on any other computers, but it may still be useful should a symbol frequently be used.

The program has been integrated into newer versions of Windows as well. Both Windows 7 and windows 8 contain the private character editor as well. Functionality, as far as I can tell, has not changed at all though.
