I know you can put Unicode character codes in a VB.Net string like this:
str = Chr(&H0030) & "More text" I would like to know how I can put the char code right into the string literal so I can use Unicode symbols from the designer view.
Is this even possible?

Unicode is a standard encoding system that is used to represent characters from almost all languages. Every Unicode character is encoded using a unique integer code point between 0 and 0x10FFFF . A Unicode string is a sequence of zero or more code points.
Windows natively supports Unicode strings for UI elements, file names, and so forth. Unicode is the preferred character encoding, because it supports all character sets and languages. Windows represents Unicode characters using UTF-16 encoding, in which each character is encoded as one or two 16-bit values.
In Visual Studio you can enter ALT+dddd where dddd is the four digits of the unicode character number in decimal. For example, pressing 0170 while holding down the ALT key results in entering ª.
Unicode supports more than a million code points, which are written with a "U" followed by a plus sign and the number in hex; for example, the word "Hello" is written U+0048 U+0065 U+006C U+006C U+006F (see hex chart).
Use the ChrW() function to return Unicode characters.
Dim strW As String strW = ChrW(&H25B2) & "More text" If you love us? You can donate to us via Paypal or buy me a coffee so we can maintain and grow! Thank you!
