Asc("€") not returning unicode value

[TomyB]

The Ascii-Table in the IDE is also missin alot of character values. for 128 to 160. in older (ascii) ide's the values are present.

I am trying to write a ContainsUnicode function, but asc() is giving me small (i.e. first-byte) values, and not the expected unicode values:

Code: Select all

Debug Asc(Chr(401))	; prints: 145
Debug Asc(Chr(956))	; prints: 188

Same here (PB 5.23 LTS) if and only if in the IDE file format is set to plain text.
Better set it to Utf8.
(should actually read UTF-8 BTW)

Yes, good catch. Changed; now it works.
