Remarks

Avoid using CharactUnicode

The following preset constants enable you to avoid using CharactUnicode:


Constant	Value	Function
CR	Charact(13) + Charact(10)	Carriage Return
TAB	Charact(9)	Tabulation
ESC	Charact(27)	Esc key
SPC	Charact(160)	Non-breaking space

UNICODE and ANSI

About 30 specific characters have a different code according to their format (UNICODE or ANSI). If the value of <Unicode code to convert> corresponds to one of these characters (value between 0 and 255), CharactUnicode returns the same result in UNICODE and ANSI.

For example:

Charact1 = CharactUnicode(128) // Returns ""
Charact2 = CharactUnicode(8364) // Returns ""

The values of <Unicode code to convert> between 256 and 65535 allow CharactUnicode to manage all the UNICODE characters.
