=== Where are the Symbol definitions are stored in Gramps ===
The definitions for Genealogical Symbols for Gramps labels are located in the Gramps application directory. The relative file subpath is: https&#58;&#x2f;&#x2f;github.com/gramps-project/gramps/blob/maintenance/gramps51/[https://github.com/gramps-project/gramps/blob/maintenance/gramps51/gramps/gen/utils/symbols.py <code>gramps\gen\utils\symbols.py] </code>
Application files & sub-directories within are often hidden and write-protected. The exact Gramps application directory path varies by OS:
: Linux
: [[All_In_One_Gramps_Software_Bundle_for_Windows#Installation_folder|Windows]]
: MacOS
Application files & sub-directories are often have hidden, write-restricted and/or write-protected [https://wikipedia.org/wiki/File_system_permissions file permissions]. To hack the Genealogical Symbol set, you may need to [https://www.howtogeek.com/194671/how-to-hide-files-and-folders-on-every-operating-system/ un-hide the folder] and open the file for editing using Administrator ([https://wikipedia.org/wiki/Superuser Superuser]) privileges.
