HEXIDECIMAL's - Help needed....

[Simon Newbould]

Hi Guys,

 

I need pointing in the right direction here.... You know when you hold down the ALT key and then type 3 numerics you get different characters? Well, I'm looking for umlottes (or whatever they're called)

 

Basically I want an O and a U with 2 dots above 'em...

 

Anyone know where I might find them or does anyone have a link to a site that lists all the Hex characters....?

 

Cheers boys

D'oh,

 

Don't worry guy's, I've found them cunningly hidden under

 

start>programs>accessories>system tools>character map....

 

Fancy putting them there!

Simon - just be sure you have charmap set for the typeface you are using. Many of the symbols are the same for all character sets but some aren't. It may give something useful in ariel but not in Times New Roman for instance.

Why bother? Most Germans speak better English than our ethnics anyway!!

I`ve had very little trouble conversing with Germans, even though my deutsch is only second year? If I walk 200yds from my house, my so called British neighbours don`t have 2 words of English between them!!

Cue Chesters!!

Cheers Newt....

 

Spasor,

 

I actually needed them for my girlfriend, she deals with a lot of Germans in her line of work (something to do with being an SS officer I think!!!!) even though they all speak very good English I think she wanted to show off a little

This one might be useful if you can't find it any other way: ALT 0128 = €

Simon!

The HEX values you want are 99 (ascii 153)for the o with 2 dots and 9A (ascii 154)for the u with 2 dots. These are for CAPITALS, deduct decimal 6 from each figure for lower case.

It's on page D2 of the City & Guilds Networks module documentation (Module 227).
