Hi Seraina Hartmann 

I tested your file in 2022 and 2021 then used NMT for translation as well as copy source to target
The target file seems to keep the correct symbol unicode

I assume where it shows unicode 20DD in your second screen print, its from the target version?

Your question was to also filter & lock.
There are so many ways with the advanced display filter being easily accessible

I hope this helps a bit

Hi Lydia Simplicio 

Thank you for having a closer look.

Appreciate your input with regard to how to filter for these empty source segments.

Unfortunately, your answer does not help though regarding my visualisation question.

It is correct that the target text keeps the correct symbols. However, it is not about the target text. It is rather about the visualisation of the symbols in Trados.

(All my print screens are from the source text, but they show the same unicode also in the target text. So this does not really matter in this case.)

What I see in Trados is this:

So, the symbol marked in green with the following unicode are visualised correctly:

However, the symbol marked in yellow with the following unicode is not visualised:

How can I make sure that I see the yellow symbols in the source segments in Trados, too?

This would also help to not copy the symbol from the original source document to filter and lock these segments, but rather to copy the symbol from the source segment in the editor.

Thank you for your support.

Best regards

Seraina

The current version is Trados Studio 2021 - 16.2.12.9338 and this is what I see.  Perhaps update your Studio first and then we can review if you still have a problem?  Also show the version of the filetype you are using... note the orange tab in my screenshot.  You can toggle through the options with Ctrl+Alt+D:

Hi Paul 

Thanks for your reply.

I will test on CU12 and update this post right afterwards.

Thanks also for the shortcut. I didn't know this one.

Seems like the filetype is the same as yours:
