I would like to create Greek character delta as a its triangle form but it appears to be something different instead of a triangle. Would you please explain how to do it?

I use %delta in Math window.

Edit: Changed subject, was Greek character delta as a triangle?  Make your post understandable by others  -- MrProgrammer, forum moderator

Perhaps you have a localisation issue? https://wiki.openoffice.org/wiki/Docume ... 0.93_Greek

Otherwise, what does "something different instead of a triangle" really mean?

Perhaps the triangle is a capital delta, and the "something different" is a lower=case curly delta, similar to 6 mirrored left to right?

Sorry for wrong explanation. It is this symbol δ. Rory is right. I used %Delta to make an upper-case one but it doesn't work. Would you please explain how to create an upper-case delta?

Okay, got it. Thanks and solved.

Here the generalzing info: Names of greek letters with the prefix "%" are case sensitive and must be all-upper-case or all-lower-case, and will then result in that case. Using mixed case the construct isn't interpreted at all.
