Chr(charcode)
The required
charcode argument is a
Long that identifies a character.
Remarks
Numbers from 0 – 31 are the same as standard, nonprintable
ASCII codes. For example,
Chr(10
) returns a linefeed character. The normal range for
charcode is 0 – 255. However, on
DBCS systems, the actual range for
charcode is -32768 to 65535.
Note The
ChrB function is used with byte data contained in a
String. Instead of returning a character, which may be one or two bytes,
ChrB always returns a single byte. The
ChrW function returns a
String containing the
Unicode character except on platforms where Unicode is not supported, in which case, the behavior is identical to the
Chr function.
Note Visual Basic for the Macintosh does not support Unicode strings. Therefore,
ChrW(
n) cannot return all Unicode characters for n values in the range of 128 – 65,535, as it does in the Windows environment. Instead,
ChrW(
n) attempts a "best guess" for Unicode values n greater than 127. Therefore, you should not use
ChrW in the Macintosh environment.
