qwert Posted January 22, 2015 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)

qwert Posted January 23, 2015 Author 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")
