Steve,
I think you are going to need to incorporate unicode. Learn about Unicode
here:
http://perl.net.au/wiki/Unicode
You will find the Thai character set here :
http://downloads.activestate.com/pub/apc/perl-current/ext/Encode/ucm/8859-11.ucm
The Baht symbol in Unicode is U0E3F \ xDF | 0 #
I'm sure I've incorporporated UTF in Delphi some years ago but can't quickly
find a reference to it.
Sorry for some reason I can't turn the above URLs into Hyperlinks. You'll
need to cut and paste them into your browser.
HTH.
Colin

Subject: Re: [DUG] Thai Baht Symbol - or Hex value to String converted
Just to clarify, My code states...
Label1.Caption := 'symbol (฿)';
Memo1.lines.add('symbol (฿)');
but in each case the question mark '?' is displayed instead fo the baht
symbol.
I will, no doubt, have the same issue with Pound and others.

I can also paste "symbol (฿)" into the source code and using a font
that supposed to render correctly, either Mocrosoft Sans Sarif or
Tahoma, all that will display is 'symbol (?)'.
Talk about frustrating.
Any help here by anyone would be really, really helpful.
