Thanks for the confirmation, Jim. When you say that you see it in browse/edit do you see every row containing a higher character as changed?
I have one table (at least) where all rows containing what should be a ½ have the ½ changed to a ? – what I don’t yet know is whether other fractions are also a question mark. If so it’s back to a backup but only in due course. Regards, Alastair.

In my case I use char above 128 but use the Greek script option and it does not show the equivalent Greek characters. They showed correctly in ver 9.5. Problem appears in forms and BROWse/EDIT table options. Seems to work properly in reports. Will be addressing this problem with RDCC when semester ends early in may.

In the new version this no longer produces the expected characters: Part of the table I use: LOAD `ExSpecialCharCodes` NONUM '½','0189',1 '¼','0188',2 '¾','0190',3 'à','0224',10 'À','0192',11 'á','0225',12 ... 'º','0186',230 '¿','0191',231 'þ','0254',232 'Þ','0222',233 the second column is only for info and the third column is simply a sort sequence. followed by: CHOOSE vChoose FROM #VALUES FOR SpecialCharacter + FROM ExSpecialCharCodes ORDER BY Menu_Sort + TITLE .vTitle CAPTION .vCaption LINES .vCount &vChoose_Options SET CLIPBOARD .vChoose The characters in the first column that is selected when pasted now either are solely a question mark or the character with a question mark in front. The only thing I could find that might be relevant in changes was the new UTF8 setting but neither on nor off made any difference. Windows 10 character map shows the numbers as I have them – at least on the ones I have checked. Does anybody have an ideas what’s different?
