CHAR

Definition

Convert a number into a character according to the current Unicode table.

Sample Usage

CHAR(97)

CHAR(HEX2DEC("A3"))

CHAR(A1)

Syntax

CHAR(table_number)

  • table_number - The number of the character to look up from the current Unicode table in decimal format.

    • table_number must be a number in decimal format (base 10). Many tables provide Unicode values in hexadecimal format (base 16). In this case, use the HEX2DEC function to convert.

Notes

  • The current Unicode table can be found online at the unicode website or on Wikipedia.
  • Not all Unicode characters will display properly on all computers and devices. Special fonts or languages may have to be installed or enabled on your computer.
