How do you convert Unicode into a character using ASP? The first two examples result in syntax errors. The third example prints the characters in the string.

ASPACE = Chr(\u00A0)
ASPACE = ChrW(\u00A0)
ASPACE = "\u00A0"

I do realize

ASPACE = Chr(160)

works but I’d also like to be able to work with Unicode.

Thanks,

Robin

Try ChrW(Replace("u00A1","u","&H"))

Sorry mistyped ChrW(Replace("u00A0","u","&H"))

Yehuda,

Thanks so much for the simplicity of your response. The Microsoft Library says to use WideCharToMultiByte to convert a Unicode string to an ANSI string. This function has 8 parameters and 3 include files.

Where did you find the solution you posted or did you come up with it yourself?

Robin

Robin,

Its a pretty simple solution. &H denotes to vb that the next part of the string is a Hexidecimal number. I double checked this on google by doing a group search on converting hex in VB. That being said and knowing that the unicode character string you mentioned is hexidecimal all I did was change it to a string VB recognizes as hexidecimal, which will be recognized as a number by ChrW. I am glad I could lend a little guidance as I see it as giving back some of the guidance that was given to me when I started out (and indeed here and there I still find myself going to the news group for an issue that I am having trouble with).
