Hi Emile,
I guess being a Windows user I always thought that the numbers above 127
were the extended ASCII characters and were the same everywhere. What was I
thinking! Thanks for the info on where to learn more. The links below are
the software apps I was asking about.
Regards,
Dave Bert

Hi Dave,
I do not know the two software you talk about in your last line, sorry.
BUT: ASCII define characters whose value start at 0 (0x00) and ends at 127
(0x7F).
Every other value is NOT part of the ASCII table but part of something
else.
So Alt-0169, Alt-0174 and Alt-0153 are part of the Windows 128 to 255
defined range of characters.
For better understanding, go in the Language Referece (User's Guide) and
seach about (Character) Encoding / Encodings, seach UTF8 on the Internet
(Google).
HTH,
Emile

I just today tried using the alt-0169, alt-0174, and alt-0153 in a static
text. 2 out of 3 worked. That said, what is the correct way to add symbols
to static texts in RB? I am on Windows. I found a Mac app that looks
useful but was curious if anyone knew of a similar one for developers that
runs on Windows?
I am referring to ASCII Tools and ASCII Pro.
