ease for the user instead.

In the IDE there is a form for inserting characters
(Menu->Edit->Insert from Character map).
Take a look at the code of that form to see how it is done.

I remember back when I used Delphi daily at work. I would ask my mentor how to do this or that, and without fail he would reply "Did you look in the VCL". By looking in the VCL I discovered many things on my path to whatever this or that was. So, by suggesting the working example the poster is helping you by teaching you to fish.

Here's what I did to follow the suggestion.

In a console window I changed directory to where lazarus exists.
I then searched for filenames containing ide.
I changed to the directory that had the most.
I then grepped the source files for map and piped that to another grep for character. The reult was one pas file and one lfm file. Since the code would not be in the form file I looked in the source file.

charactermapdlg.pas

It took me longer to write this than to find it.
