When I run this

-REPEAT :Loop FOR &Count FROM 33 TO 255;
-SET &Char = HEXBYT(&Count, 'A1');
-TYPE &Count &Char
-:Loop

all the extended ascii symbols are blank.
MY NLS setting is set to 65001 - Unicode(UTF-8)
and my language en.
Does this setting not support exnteded ascii.l How to get extended ascii working?

What's your output (HTML, PDF, etc...)?

HTML, Just ran that code with nothing else,it would default to a browser.

Unicode chars extend beyond char 256, so extend your counter.

When you are dealing with Unicode and "non-standard" code pages, you really need to make sure you know more about it.

Thanks Tony, changing it to A8 instead of A1 is showing values for the other higher numbers. I understand when you meant counter , since unicode can extend into thousands not just 255 , I have seen till 60000 or more, but I also had to increase the A1.

Uh, No, the result of HEXBYT is always 'A1'.

What I meant is

-REPEAT :Loop FOR &Count FROM 33 TO nnn;

Where you need to research what "nnn" should be.

Unicode can store using one to four 8 bit-bytes, 1 Byte is only until 128 after that it increases.

If you just want to add a unicode char to the HTML page, then you can use a decimal numeric character reference.

e.g.

-HTMLFORM BEGIN
<table>
<tr><th>Decimal</th><th>Escape Char</th><th>Unicode Char</th></tr>
-REPEAT :Loop FOR &Count FROM 8352 TO 8373;
<tr><td>&Count</td><td><span>&</span>#&Count;</td><td>&|#&Count;</td></tr>
-:Loop
</table>
-HTMLFORM END

So my ploy to encourage you to prove me wrong worked

We can always give the answers to people but they do not necessarily learn. Encouraging them to do some of the research themselves will help them retain some of the knowledge that they gain during that research!

Essentially, "give a person a fish and they'll eat well for a day, ...... etc."

Unfortunately, that is not the society we live in any more.

Give a person a fish and they will take it apart to find out what you did to it. People don't trust free fish anymore these days.

And then if you teach a person how to fish, they will inquire why the h*ll you're not doing it instead, since you know so much better how.

Ah, those days when people were still happy to be taught something...

It did, I followed your advice exactly and read on it which helped solved my issue

Excellent!
