As I've said, CHR$() can only take in an unsigned byte as parameter, which cannot go higher than 255. But using that to reconstruct an Unicode character assumes UTF-8 somewhere, doesn't it? I've learned something here. It might not give me everything I want such as getting an Unicode-ready text editor or word processor to display whatever character I want that I could see with a given font loaded into Gucharmap. At least so I could take a screenshot and then capture those characters as BMP or something to be able to use them in a QB64 program.
That's why I always like to know how something works, not just how to use it. True knowledge is never useless, only the application of it might be. When I moved into my new house, my 95lb wife and I moved my 3500lb milling machine from the driveway, across the garage, up a step and through a doorway into the new shop, using just chunks of wood and a hand-truck. When I saw the movers trying to man-handle the clothes washer I gave them the hand-truck. No kidding, I put the hand-truck under the washer and watched two grown men pick up the hand-truck/washer and carry them into the house. I hope I never stop learning.
