The _UPRINTSTRING method seems like the way to go; it gave me the Unicode character 1046 ok, but the character I want (2022) is apparently not in that font. Is there a way to find a common font that has this character in it?
Ah, a list bullet. Why unicode, I see at least two, with _CONTROLCHR OFF even five alternatives in the QB64 inbuilt font:
Code: (Select All)_CONTROLCHR OFF
PRINT CHR$(4); CHR$(7); CHR$(9)
_CONTROLCHR ON
PRINT CHR$(249); CHR$(254)
Otherwise it could be hard to find a suitable font, my best guess was "Arial Unicode MS", the most complete unicode font I've found so far, but when I checked even that font doesn't have the U2022 in it.
Thanks RhoSigma. I wasn't aware of the effects the _ControlChr command had; the chr$(7) char with it set to OFF is the one I needed; Now I have one more in my useful commands list!
Edit: Now I've found a whole heap of useful glyphs in there!
