A symbol chart is the paper that you usually get with your Diamond Painting kit. If you are familiar with cross stitch the symbol chart probably isn’t looking that weird to you. Usually the symbol chart have five different columns. One column has a serial number, one column has the symbols, one shows the DMC-number, one says how many bags you have gotten and one column says how many drills you need of the color.
How do I read the symbol chart?
A symbol chart can look different depending on which company sends it. However they do have some things in common and that is they all show the symbols that is on the canvas and which color they belong to.
A regular symbol chart can look as the picture below. The first column contain a serial number. The second column show the symbol you can see on the canvas. The third shows the DMC-number. The fourth show how many bags you have gotten. And the fifth shows how many drills you need for the painting.
You read the symbol chart row by row. The first row with the symbol 
Dear Sir or Madam: How do I see symbols charts, If I can’t see them? What should I do? Do you need letters and numbers?
Hi!
Not quite sure what you mean. If you buy a Diamond Painting kit you usually get a paper with the symbol chart, or it is printed directly on the side of the canvas. For some partial paintings you only get the bags with diamonds numbered and then on the canvas are the corresponding numbers and you match them that way.

Is the color chart with the symbols and diamond still available? I thought you offered one a few months I think? You could also get the color chart without the diamonds. But they have both the numbers and corresponding symbols on it.
Is there a chart for the symbols used in Paint With Diamonds
I did a quick search but can’t find any. If you want a definitive answer you should check directly with Paint with Diamonds.

How do you convert letters to dmc colors?
Usually you get a symbol chart, as describe above, with your Diamond Painting kit where you can see which letter (and other symbols) correspond to what DMC color.

If I create my own pattern using a cross stitch program, how do I convert to DMC colors for diamond painting?
Hi!
The DMC color coding is the same for both cross stitch and Diamond Painting. So if you create your own pattern using DMC colors in a cross stitch program you will use the same numbers for your Diamond Painting. For example DMC 310 is black in both cross stitch and in Diamond Painting.
