How to fix this error?

Characters entered in the editor must satisfy the following conditions
in order to be printed:
1. It must be possible to assign the hex code of the character to an
SAP character (a system-wide unique character name) via the system
character set or via a character set belonging to the font family.
2. There must be an entry for the SAP character in the font metrics of
the printer font currently used which also indicates the width of the
character. A single CPI entry is sufficient for unproportional fonts as
the width of all characters is the same. In the case of proportional
fonts, there must be an entry for each printable character.
3. The character set of the printer used must contain the SAP
character.

The system issues an error message and will not allow you to continue with this transaction until the error is resolved.

Please check whether the specified character fulfills all three
conditions.
