qwert Posted January 22, 2015 Share Posted January 22, 2015 Sorry if the answer to this is widely known ... but I can’t find it. I need to display some of the extended characters that are available in certain fonts (... "the ones that support unicode", I suppose is the way to describe them.) I can see the character in the Character Map, but I can't get any charcter with a numeric value above 255 to display. I could list all the things I’ve tried that didn’t work, but that would only confuse readers. What’s the proper way to display Arial Right-Pointing Pointer in a label control? (i.e., GUICtrlCreateLabel) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

qwert Posted January 23, 2015 Author Share Posted January 23, 2015 Addendum For anyone interested in using extended characters, I want to mention that Lucida Sans Unicode offers some interesting symbols at the end of its character set. For reference, here's an example of use: GUICtrlCreateLabel(ChrW(0x25B7), 8, 70, 14, 18) GUICtrlSetFont(-1, 12, 400, 0, "Lucida Sans Unicode") Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
