How to use a Unicode/WingDing char for a caption?

[Kraig K]

I want to use a Unicode character for the caption of a command button. How do I enter the code or keystrokes into the "Caption" property field to achieve this? The symbol I want is from the WingDings font collection, one of the up arrows to be exact. I know the hex code and the decimal code for it but not the keyboard equiv. For example, if I put "Z" as the caption with WingDings as the font, I get a half moon thing, but how to get the arrow?

Once you set the font of the command button to wingdings you can then use CharMap.Exe to copy and paste chars from the CharMap window into the Caption line of the properties window.

To run charmap.exe goto Start\Accessories\System Tools\Character Map

You will notice when running charmap that in the lower right hand corner it will say something like Alt+0233 when you select a character. You can use this keyboard combination to enter these extended characters into the properties window, or notepad, or any other textbox or text window

This was entered at my keyboard.

You know I swear I tried copy/paste before and it didn't work. Tried it this morning and it worked just fine! Thanks for your inspiration!

Searched for how to have unicode characters in button caption - 4 results !

I want to have a unicode character in my button's caption.
Button's Font is Arial Unicode MS and western script.
Tried copy-paste from charmap and only ? appears. ALT+3333 also results in ? (Question mark).
Specifically characters in the range : &#x0D05 - &#x0D6F

Any idea how to get this done. Im willing to move to VB.NET it can be easily done there.

Thanks
