Syntax

<Result> = Charact(<ASCII code to convert>)

<Result>: Character string

Character corresponding to the specified ASCII code.

<ASCII code to convert>: Integer

Value to convert (between 0 and 255). A WLanguage error occurs if the value is invalid.
This value is between 0 and 65535.

Remarks

Avoid using Charact

The following preset constants enable you to avoid using Charact:


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 ASCII code according to their format (UNICODE or ANSI). If the value of <ASCII code to convert> corresponds to one of these characters (value between 0 and 255), Charact returns the same result in UNICODE and ANSI.

For example:

Charact1 = Charact(128) // Returns "€"
Charact2 = Charact(8364) // Returns "€"

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