WChr

Returns a wide string made from one or more Unicode code points.

Syntax

Declare Function Wchr ( ByVal ch As Integer [, ... ] ) As WString

Parameters

• ch

Description

WChr returns a wide-character string containing the character(s) represented by the Unicode values passed to it.

When WChr is used with numerical constants or literals, the result is evaluated at compile-time, so it can be used in variable initializers.

Not all Unicode characters can be displayed on any machine, the characters available depend on the font presently in use in the console. Graphics modes can't display Unicode characters, as the GfxLib built-in font is not Unicode.

Return Value

Returns a wide-character string.

Remarks

Usage

result = WChr( ch0 [, ch1 ... chN ] )

Platform Differences

• DOS does not support WChr.

Dialect Differences

• Not available in the -lang qb dialect unless referenced with the alias __Wchr.

Differences from QB

• New to FreeBASIC

Examples

Print "The character represented by the UNICODE code of 934 is: "; WChr(934)

Print "Multiple UNICODE characters: "; WChr(933, 934, 935)

will produce the output:

The character represented by the UNICODE code of 934 is: Φ
Multiple UNICODE characters: ΥΦΧ
