#NUMPAD CODE FOR A WITH UMLAUT PLUS#

IMPORTANT NOTE: Do not enter the plus signs, just the Alt key and the following number OR the characters followed by the simultaneous Alt and X keys. The ASCII decimal code for this same symbol is Alt+ 106, but that code and both the Unicode and ASCII Hex codes (006A plus Alt+ X displays the Latin lowercase letter “j.” This means some symbols (especially the downloaded ones) may only be available through the Insert > Symbol commands on the Ribbon menus. But notice that some of the new symbols also have letters in the codes such as the Hex ASCII code (aka Unicode) 006A, which is supposed to display a decorative heart from a downloaded symbol font called “KR All About the Heart.” Notice that all of the Alt codes in the charts above are represented by numbers for example, the White Queen is Alt+ 9813. Notice that many of the 9,000-level symbols are repeats of the original set (1 thru 255). Start with 1,000 and try some random numbers through 10,078. The Alt+ codes extend out five digits, so if you can’t find the symbol you’re looking for, play around with the numbers and see what you get.

That’s why so many users get discouraged when looking for the British pound symbol £ (Alt+ 0163) and end up with the lowercase Latin letter acute accent ú (Alt+ 163)-which is also found at Alt+ 0250. In fact, Alt+ 1 through Alt+ 31 (without the preceding zeroes) are icon symbols (such as happy faces, card suits, astrology icons, etc.) and 176 through 223 are graphic lines and polygons. But the coolest of all are the graphics and icon symbols. In addition to the keyboard characters, you’ll find decimal codes for Greek and Latin letters, accent letters, pronunciation symbols over the alphabet, and mathematical symbols, such as the division and square root operators, the accent grave and circumflex symbols, plus worldwide currency symbols, and more. For example, Alt+ 0251 = û (the Latin small letter u with circumflex symbol above it) while Alt+ 251 = √ (the square root sign)-and so forth until you reach 256, which is the same as 0256 (both produce the pronunciation symbol for an uppercase ‘long’ A that is, Ā).

You can test this yourself by entering both versions of these numbers. If that's not feasible, you might want to take a look at around the decimal code 256, the preceding zero is no longer necessary. You'll probably avoid a lot of this trouble by using "nchar" column types. I'm not sure if any of this helped, I rather doubt it. It is not a valid Unicode codepoint, you can verify that with the charmap.exe utility. Assuming everything worked without getting converted, code 132 will indeed display a question mark. Last, but not least, there'll be a conversion from the Unicode string you got from the database read to a printable string in the debugger. Again, no documentation on this in the library. Now possibly converting from a "char" to Unicode. The next conversion that takes place is when you read it back from the column. Unfortunately, the MSDN library documentation is silent on this. If you use a "char" type for the column, the next conversion that takes place is when you write the Unicode string to the column value.

That choice is however made when you install the server and the default is customized to the default code page of the PC, yours is probably different. The instance I use defaults to "SQL_Latin1_General_CP1_CI_AS". For "char" type columns, it has its own idea of code pages. SQL server supports char and nchar, the latter being Unicode. The next thing that matters is the type of your database column. The OEM code for 132 is indeed this character, the editor converts to it Unicode codepoint 228. Where I live, USA, when I type Alt + Numpad 132, I get a lower-case "a" with an Umlaut. The C# compiler supports the /codepage compiler option but the IDE doesn't let you use this. First off, the compiler and the IDE text editor use your current code page to translate your string literals to Unicode.

Tough problem, there are a lot of conversions that can cause this.
