All the Unicode characters and CHR() [Resolved]

[Kwai chang caine]

Hello at all

I try to write all the UNICODE characters with Chr(), but apparently it's not also easy than that
I go to Wikipedia page
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_U ... characters
If i want write the "Ƶ", i see a Decimal column with "437" number

U+01B5 Ƶ 437 Latin Capital Letter Z with stroke

So i write

Code: Select all

RenameFile("D:\Nouveau dossier", "D:\" + Chr(437))

and my folder is named now "Ƶ" chr(437)

But if i want use a Cyrillic character for exampler
The table on Wikipedia not have decimal column

U+04E8 Ө Cyrillic Capital Letter Barred O 0633

And if i write

Code: Select all

RenameFile("D:\Nouveau dossier", "D:\" + Chr(0633))

My folder is not named "Ө" but "ɹ"

Is it possible to write all the characters of the world, with only Chr() function and without adding or modify orginal Windows ?

Have a good day

Hello KCC,

You can write 4 Hex digit Unicode code points (characters) using Chr() as long as they are supported by the font you are using.
Easiest to just express the code point (without the U+) in hexadecimal, eg.

Code: Select all

Debug Chr($01B5)
Debug Chr($04E8)

; Debug Output
; Ƶ
; Ө

But if i want use a Cyrillic character for exampler
The table on Wikipedia not have decimal column

U+04E8 Ө Cyrillic Capital Letter Barred O 0633

And if i write

RenameFile("D:\Nouveau dossier", "D:\" + Chr(0633))

Plain text
My folder is not named "Ө" but "ɹ"

04E8 is 1256 decimal

Code: Select all

Debug Chr(1256)

Your font has to have support for the character or you will end up with (usually) a box instead.

YEEEESSS !!!!



It's a miracle !!!!



KCC have all understand

Thanks to you three, i can now, named hundred folders of my hard drive with an "Unique one letter name"
For replace all my tree of files from this normal format

My long name folder 1
. . My long name folder 2
. . . My file 1.txt
. . My long name folder 3
. . . My file 1.txt
. . . My long name folder 4
. . . . My file 1.txt

by this "only one letter name" format

A
. . ᔢ
. . . My file 1.txt
. . ℣
. . . My file 1.txt
. . . ⅁
. . . . My file 1.txt

Because MICROSOFT have not thinking to give the possibility to create a personal ID at each folder
With WINDOWS it's impossible to differentiate a folder with another folder, except with his name and path (and his content...who can changed too)
The only one method, is adding an horrible "desktop.ini" file inside him
in my opinion...whoever was responsible for creating the folder function....spent more time in front of the MICROSOFT coffee machine than in front of their PC

However, it was not complicated to be able to add a simple number to the NTFS structure, which would have allowed us to recognize any folder even if we changed his name or moved it in the tree structure of the hard drive
It's easy to recognize a file, but a folder...impossible

Thanks a lot at you all my friends for your preious help and kindness
Have a very very very good day

C:\Windows\System32\charmap.exe
The program will show which characters are used in the selected font.
