In case it wasn't clear - Unicode U+2022 is the hex value, which corresponds to the decimal value of 8226. 4D expects a longint which is the decimal value of 8226. See more here: https://www.fileformat.info/info/unicode/char/2022/index.htm
Now for Char(165) this would equate to U+A5 which is listed here: http://www.fileformat.info/info/unicode/char/a5/index.htm -Tim -----Original Message----- From: 4D_Tech <4d_tech-boun...@lists.4d.com> On Behalf Of Timothy Penner via 4D_Tech Sent: Wednesday, December 19, 2018 3:13 PM To: 4D iNug Technical <4d_tech@lists.4d.com> Cc: Timothy Penner <tpen...@4d.com> Subject: RE: Understanding Unicode Characters https://www.fileformat.info/info/unicode/char/2022/index.htm HTML Entity (decimal)• HTML Entity (hex)• HTML Entity (named)• How to type in Microsoft WindowsAlt +2022 UTF-8 (hex)0xE2 0x80 0xA2 (e280a2) UTF-8 (binary)11100010:10000000:10100010 UTF-16 (hex)0x2022 (2022) UTF-16 (decimal)8,226 UTF-32 (hex)0x00002022 (2022) UTF-32 (decimal)8,226 C/C++/Java source code"\u2022" Python source codeu"\u2022" -----Original Message----- From: 4D_Tech <4d_tech-boun...@lists.4d.com> On Behalf Of Robert ListMail via 4D_Tech Sent: Wednesday, December 19, 2018 3:08 PM To: 4D iNug Tech <4d_tech@lists.4d.com> Cc: Robert ListMail <listm...@usersoft.com> Subject: Understanding Unicode Characters In a galaxy far far away, we commonly used option-8 on the Mac to get a bullet glyph or symbol. At some point while converting databases from Mac to Windows this was changed to Char(165). Now, I see that Char(165), in a converted database, gives me the Yen sign. I’ve stumbled on the fact that Char(8226) gives me the bullet symbol in Windows but I don’t understand it. So Option-8 on the Mac and Char(8226) via 4D seem to give me the same character, where Bbedit reports the character as: Hex: E2 80 A2 Decimal: 226 128 162 Unicode: 2022 Why is the decimal value of 8226 not mentioned in the data above? Is there a 4d command that takes unicode values as a parameter, such that I could input 2022 and get the bullet glyph? Also when you look at the wiki referenced by the 4D docs (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_Unicode_characters <https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_Unicode_characters>) and refer to the bullet, you get “U+2022” and what seems like a decimal value of 916. Where is the 916 coming from and why is the unicode value written as “U+2022”, do you ever have to type “U+”? Sorry for such a fundamental question, I guess it’s time to learn more about character sets.
