Those are all Unicode character values, and as you know VFP doesn't deal very well with Unicode. If you want to see just the chars you can use out of a font, change the ComboBox for the Character Set to Windows:Western.

>I know about the character map utility. That's how I found the "arrowhead" symbols in the "Arial" font. I noticed that some of the extended characters can be accessed with ALT+codes. For example, notice how the character map utility says "Keystroke Alt+0178" in the bottom right of its status bar for the "squared" symbol (^2). In my button caption I can put = CHR(178) and get the "squared" text.

>>From the Windows "Run Command" run charmap.exe. This will help you locate any character and enable you to copy and paste.
