Display Extended Characters From Fonts

Is there a way to show the extended characters in a font in VB? For example, the Times New Roman font has all the normal characters (letters, numbers, symbols) and then a lot of squiggly looking characters - probably from another language. How can I display those in a VB label or textbox. Is it possible?

Use Chr$(128) to Chr$(255) to access the higher characters.

You may want to run your program, hit the pause ||
and type the following in your immediate window to see the characters.

for i = 128 to 255: form1.print i;chr$(i):next

But these may not be the ones in you picturebox or text box.

You might want to create a new project and add to the click event
on your form.
Private Sub Form_Click()
Cls
For i = 128 To 255:
Print i; " "; Chr$(i), " ";
If i Mod 6 = 0 Then Print
Next
End Sub


to see the characters on your form.

I can get those characters. I'm talking about the ones beyond 255.

You're talking unicode. That's a bit harder. Search for "unicode"
and "Visual Basic" on the web, and perhaps on this board, athough I
didn't try on this board.
Here's a link from Microsoft which gives a simple example.
