    characters VB6 with W10

    Hello Everybody

    Hope you all are well and stay safe.
    Please, I am contacting you for a puzzling problem I am facing with a VB6 project.
    I have searched in past forums without success.
    Following is the topic.
    In the main part of pc with Windows 10 the software in working properly.
    In some of them I am encountering following problem:
    Following character
    <<°>>
    Meaning the degree sign (ascii 167)
    1 – in the output screen for VB6, I get that this character is added with
    Latin Capital letter A with circumflex
    <<Â>> (ascii 142)
    Meaning, instead than
    <<°>>
    I get
    <<°>>, meaning both characters

    2 – when I print the output with a Microsoft pdf printer, I get that
    Following characters are added
    <<½>> (ascii 171 )
    <<¿>> (ascii 168 )
    <<î>> (ascii 140 )
    Meaning, instead than
    <<°>>
    I get
    <>>


    Again, my problem is that this is occurring only in one pc with W10, while in the others all works properly.
    Please can anybody give me some hints concerning this topic ?

    Thanks in advance, Regards and stay safe

    Hello, I don't know what is "the output screen for VB6" that you are talking about, but I suspect it must be a control, like a Label or a TextBox.

    I suggest to use Unicode controls, like these ones.

    ANSI controls depend on the locale of the machine, and also the used font comes into play.

    Currently there is another thread with a similar issue.

    Hello Eduardo
    at first, thank you very much for your kind answer.
    output screen: it is a form that is launched in order to see the results. Specifically the problem happens on a TextBox utilized in the same form.

    Please, would it be possible for you to resend me the link of Unicode controls ?
    The one in your post doesn't work.

    Many thanks
