ASCII limit in Chr() function?

[greenmachine 4]

I was trying to create a button with an up arrow (hex: 0x25B2, or dec: 9650), and the Chr() function wouldn't print the correct character. Instead, it printed a superscript 2, like you would see on x squared. A superscript 2 is hex code 0xB2, meaning that the Chr() function missed the first portion of the code (the 25). I'm not sure what's up with that, but I was wondering if anyone knew of a way to fix that, or something similar. Or is there a limit to how big the ascii code number can be?

Well, by definition, ASCII is only 256 characters and so that pretty much answers the question right there.

In fact, characters 128 to 255 are the "Extended ASCII Character set"

I'm assuming you want a GUI; try the Wingdings font:

GuiCreate("Really Lazy Example")
GUICtrlCreateButton("ÙÝáéñ", 10, 10, 200, 200)
GuiCtrlSetFont(-1, 24, 800, 0, "Wingdings")
GuiSetState()
Sleep(5000)

I knew something was wrong. You were both right, and ascii wasn't what I was looking at. I just assumed the unicode would work for ascii, and it didn't. Turns out Wingdings 3 had the characters I was looking for. Thanks for reminding me about fonts CyberSlug.
