is there a function in opendwg libraries to convert special characters in mtext and text to corresponding symbols as listed below?
%%c to Ø (diameter)
%%d to ° (degree)
%%p to ± ( plus/minus)
\u+2205 to Ø diameter
\u+00b0 to ° (degree)
\u+00b1 ± ( plus/minus)
do i need to write a function myself.i am not very familiar with autocad.please help me.

we use simple post processing to replace autocad special sequences by our characters (just string.replace(..., ...)).
take note that symbols degree & plus/minus are in standard windows charset, but diameter sign is unicode symbol (0x2300) and not all ttf fonts contain it. so you can use latin capital letter o with stroke (u+00d8) instead.

in autocad user documentation (help). explore follow topics:
control codes and special characters
special unicode characters
unicode strings, control codes, and special characters
