Look here: http://www.asciitable.com/

Go here instead: http://www.web-source.net/symbols.htm

There you will find the ascii codes for many special characters. Looking through, I see that ü = 225.

Chr() can be used to send ascii characters.

Try the following:

Send("String text here " & Chr(225))

To send:

String text here ü

By the way here is another way send unicode:

Like this:

create somefile.txt and write to it your unicode character in this case ü

Then save it with UT8 encoding.

And in another step use this way:

Send("String text here " & FileRead(@ScriptDir&"\somefile.txt"))

2:)Autoit says: ü =ASCII =117

This is not correct i think:

becouse:

Chr("117")

Returns u not ü

Also i cannot figure it out Affe`s example.

İt returns for me :

String text here Ѓ

My apologies, it appears that the site I offered for tables is incorrect.

Instead, go here: http://www.web-source.net/symbols.htm

And use the HTML code (remove the '&#' to get the code).

In this case, it's 225. So Chr(225) will return the ü.

Hi,

thank you for your reply but it doesnt work

I tried:

Send("{ALTDOWN}Chr(252){ALTUP}")

But the Program accepts the Input not.

it returns als Chr(252)

To send the ASCII value ü (same as pressing ALT+129 on the numeric keypad)

Send("{ASC 129}")

ASCII value from http://www.asciitable.com/

So you would want:

Send("{ALTDOWN}{ASC 129}{ALTUP}")

Haven't tested this though, could be problematic with the dual "alt" control being called. Try it and let us know.

thank you for your reply

your tip works, but as you already mentioned the "alt" button is ignored.

any idea to get the "alt" button working?

[DW1]

did you already try:

Send("!{ASC 129}")

?

[schtebo]

i tried

Send("{ALTDOWN}!{ASC 129}{ALTUP}")

or is this wrong?
