Counting Symbols

[ngwaltne]

Hello. I am working on counting symbols in a field including "∆"(a triangle),""(a square), and "0" . I used the calculation below in a field to count the "∆" now i need to get a total for each symbol. Would I expand upon the calculation or move to a script. The triangles and squares do not show up in this post. Fairly new to this. Thanks in advance.

PatternCount (ling_2,"∆")>0

I have a total on the found set in a summary field.
