How to print a Dot "." in Touchgfx?

I need to take input fractional values from user through UI built via TouchGFX.

There is a separate Dot button on my UI keypad. But, I am not able to print it on the screen.

Please help me for above problem. Just a short clue on what to use will also be sufficient.

Sharing the photo of my keypad here with.

Concretely:

For the typography you're using you must define a dot ('.') in your wildcard list in the texts tab.
Call Unicode::strncpy(myBuffer, ".", 1); to update the buffer and invalidate the textarea.

You will have to study and use the unicode for the period character.

You can use Unicode::strncpy() in TouchGFX to copy those kinds of characters into an array of Unicode::UnicodeChar (a wildcard buffer).
