Here is a weird question but I did not know where else to ask:
what character is(I cant even produce it) is an "A" with a "o" on the top. Any help would be appreciated.
Regards

chr(229) is what you are looking for I think

msgbox chr(229) for example

edit/ oops, I meant chr(197) for the uppercase one. /edit

Do you mean this: Å ?

I have no idea what it is used for but the keys are ALT+0197 and I found it using the Character Map in Start -> Programs -> Accessories -> System Tools -> Character Map. This was using the Arial Font.

Or this:
msgbox chr(197)
For the capitalized version. The whole list can be found HERE (http://msdn.microsoft.com/library/default.asp?url=/library/en-us/vbenlr98/html/vamscansitable2.asp)

It's called the "Angstrom letter" or "Angstrom" by the way.
Just thought I'd add that in.;)
