Extended Characters, Unicode, & Entry Fields

questions
1

The impending Clarion 12 release for Unicode use produced an interesting discussion on ClarionLive! yesterday.
The new Help shows how to program non-keyboard characters into variables; e.g.:

DegreeChar" = CHR(176)

But how does the end user insert an extended character into a string entry field?

For Windows 10/11, press Windows Key + period e.g. :window:. and you can select emojis etc., for spoken languages Settings->Language and Region->Preferred Languages - press ‘Add a Language’ button

You have the Windows Character Map Tool / Accessory. Run CharMap.

You can hold down ALT then tap 0176 on the number pad.

Gee, easy peasy.
Thanks.

That goes back to the DOS days, possibly earlier.

Interesting. I’ve always used alt+248 for degrees. Either way, they give an identical result in my hex editor.

LOL, some of us have keyboards that don’t have Windows keys on :slight_smile:
