Hi again: 1. Yes, it can be used for any unicode character between 0 and 65,535. For example ChrW(2) represents the non-printing character which in the single byte ASCII system is called STX (start of text). 2. No, it's not compulsory to use hexadecimal for the argument - it's more usual to use a decimal integer.

hi thanks aneway 1.can this function convert any other char code to unicode eg. isfoc to unicode 2. and is it compulsory to give hexadecimal as input , cant we give simple number! :(

Alan · Answer

The ChrW function returns the unicode character with the same number as its Integer argument. For example: Dim c As Char = ChrW(65) 'assigns the variable c the character 'A ' This line does the same except the argument this time is expressed as a hexadecimal number: Dim c As Char = ChrW(&H41)
