For example...you will type this %%U shortcut command in autocad if you wanted your text with underline...instead of using Icon.

Besides using Unicode characters for inputting special characters, you can also overscore text, underscore text, or include a special character by including control information in the text string. Use a pair of percent signs to introduce each control sequence.
This control code works with standard AutoCAD text fonts and PostScript fonts:
%%nnnDraws character number nnn.
These control codes work with standard AutoCAD text fonts only:
%%oToggles overscore mode on/off.
%%uToggles underscore mode on/off.
%%dDraws degrees symbol ( ° ).
%%pDraws plus/minus tolerance symbol (±).
%%cDraws circle diameter dimensioning symbol (Ø).
%%%Draws a single percent sign.
Overscore and underscore modes can be in effect at the same time. Both modes turn off automatically at the end of the text string.
You can use the %%nnn control sequence to display special characters using the PostScript fonts. However, if you use PSOUT to create a PostScript file containing characters created with this method, the characters are displayed as outlines in the file.
A sample drawing showing the character map for each font is provided in the fonts directory.

If any one wants a list of the abbreviations like L for LINE...
search your computer for the file name ACAD.PGP ...edit it if you want.
