Confusing Chr$ explanation

[RhoSigma]

My guess is the ALT codes with leading zeros are not part of the QB64pe compilation options.....but someone with much more knowledge can chime in to confirm or not.

Cheers.

You should have noticed that QB64pe works with codepage 437, the copyright sign is simply not available in that set of chars. You may try whatever you want, it won't give you that sign with PRINT CHR$(169).

You have to use a unicode capable custom font, MAPUNICODE the copyright sign's unicode codepoint to any ASCII char of your choice and then PRINT that remapped char.

On the other hand you may use UPRINTSTRING with the respective codepoint directly, but that requires a graphic screen (text SCREEN 0 is not supported) and of course a suitable unicode custom font too.
