I‘ve tried Writeln(Chr(9556)) but chr() has a limit of 255, and I’ve tried just Writeln(#9556) and while that compiles and runs, it doesn’t produce the correct character.. I have a feeling (but have not tested it) that it keeps cycling around the first 256 characters if you use anything above 255….. pretty sure a character is defined as a byte here.
Thanks for that lengthy description of the problem, much better than OP's just describing output as rubbish, or something similar.
since char is a single byte type a large value will just get truncated. If you turn on range checking it should return a compiler time error. You could check that.
Maybe doing that would cast some light on what is going wrong in CRT as well.
