First, I’m able to confirm your issue. The unicode "UP ARROWHEAD“ is generated by the info-inset for the short-cuts. Somehow this is solved with LyX 2.4 but I don’t know how. A possible workaround for 2.3 could be to place some TeX code for 0x2303 in the file unicodesymbols. You may copy the file /Applications/LyX.app/Contents/Resources/unicodesymbols to the folder ~/Library/Application\ Support/LyX-2.3/unicodesymbols and add the TeX code for it there. I’m not familiar with the syntax of this file and also don’t know the best TeX code to typeset the character '⌃'. I’ve tried it with a line like this: 0x2303 "Ctrl" "" "" "" "" # UP ARROWHEAD and this worked for me. Perhaps some other developer can chime in and propose a proper solution. Hope this helps, Stephan
