put numtocodepoint(baseconvert("26BD",16,10)) should put your socker ball.

numtocodepoint seems to want only a base 10, so convert from hex first.

Hi all,

on my Mac I have this wonderfull little system palette in the menubar showing me
„Emojis and Symbols“ and give me somethong like this for e.g. „Soccer ball“:
Unicode U+26BD
UTF8 E2 9A BD
 
How can I use this information with numtocodepoint() or codepointtonum(), if at 
all?
Tried several combinations with and without quotes, but no success. :-/

Thanks for any hints!

If you are working with any version from 7.0 upwards you should be able 
to "just" do this:


put whatever & TAB & *numToCodePoint(8226)* & anothervar & CR after tDGText

give it a try and revert to me :)

You can set it up in your script as a constant to avoid some typing.

Do the numtocodepoint in the text box then paste the thing into your
constant declaration.

Hi friends,

Since version 7.x we have unicode, does that mean

Know what I mean?
