Question

How do I prevent figma from changing my text into shapes

For example, I want “->” in a text field but Figma changes it to “→” 

How can I prevent that?

I’ve tried disabling spell check but it didn't work.

    Hi ​@TinyRoy, thanks for reaching out! 

    You can disable Smart Symbols from the Main menu in a Figma Design file. Navigate to Preferences > Uncheck “Use smart quotes/symbols”
