put numtocodepoint(baseconvert("26BD",16,10)) should put your socker ball. numtocodepoint seems to want only a base 10, so convert from hex first. On Thu, May 19, 2016 at 7:33 AM, Klaus major-k wrote: > Hi all, > > on my Mac I have this wonderfull little system palette in the menubar > showing

Hi all, on my Mac I have this wonderfull little system palette in the menubar showing me „Emojis and Symbols“ and give me somethong like this for e.g. „Soccer ball“: Unicode U+26BD UTF8 E2 9A BD How can I use this information with numtocodepoint() or codepointtonum(), if at all? Tried several c

If you are working with any version from 7.0 upwards you should be able to "just" do this: put whatever & TAB & *numToCodePoint(8226)* & anothervar & CR after tDGText give it a try and revert to me :) Best, Richmond. On 18.05.2016 18:55, Klaus major-k wrote: Hi Richmond, Am 18.05.2016 um 1

You can set it up in your script as a constant to avoid some typing. Do the numtocodepoint in the text box then paste the thing into your constant declaration. On Wed, May 18, 2016 at 10:03 AM, Klaus major-k wrote: > Hi Bob, > > > Am 18.05.2016 um 17:58 schrieb Bob Sneidar >: > > > > Hi Klaus.

Hi Klaus. What I did is create a bullet point graphic (could use an SVG path??) then set the imageSource of the first character which I insert (like a space) to that image. I will preface each line with a space and a tab, then set the first tab spacing to enough to make the list pleasing to the

Dear Klaus, As Macintosh and Windows versions of Livecode, and the 2 operating systems, are Unicode compliant as long as you use the Unicode compliant bullet-point symbol [Hex 2022, Decimal 8226] there should be no reason why it should not cross from Mac to Windows without going "funny". htt
