Triangle around a portion of text - how?

For ages now, when I want a triangle around the first number of letter
of a note, I've been creating a note with no text, then making a
triangle around it.

I then drag this over the text that I want the triangle around.

for example:

NOTES:

1 PRESS PART A INTO PART B

And I want a triangle around the "1". How do you do this without
creating a note with nothing but spaces, adding a triangle around it,
then dragging it over the "1"?

There must be a way to do this.

 

You can add a symbol using the "Add Symbol" icon in the property
manager (Has a centerline symbol on the box). Use the dropdown menu to
select "Flag Tri X", X=number, and select the Triangle number that you
want. This has been available for a few releases now, and I don't
think that I ever saw this in any "What's New" manual. I just stumbled
upon it one day while adding a different symbol.
