Assistance please. I am obviously using MsgBox wrong, but i am trying to display the Unicode//Higher Ascii characters for Up arrow, and Down arrow in a message box. And it's not working. Here is what's failed so-far.

(Keep in mind All my AHK scripts are in standard Txt format (ANSI) and i can not simply copy and paste a ↑ or ↓ symbol into the script. )

Code:
#+/::
asc0 = {ASC 08593}
asc1 = {ASC 08595}

MsgBox, 32,CBM.ahk,Keys:`n  [Win]+[ %asc0% ] - Previous Clip`n  [Win]+[ %asc1% ] - Next Clip
;FAILED to display [ ↑ ] or [ ↓ ]

MsgBox, 32,CBM.ahk,Keys:`n  [Win]+[{ASC 08593}] - Previous Clip`n  [Win]+[{ASC 08595}] - Next Clip
;FAILED to display [ ↑ ] or [ ↓ ]
↓
MsgBox % "Keys:`n  [Win]+[". {ASC 8593} ."] - Previous Clip`n  [Win]+[". {ASC 8595} ."] - Next Clip`n
;FAILED to display [ ↑ ] or [ ↓ ]

return


Examples are welcome.

Bumped, due to lack of replies, and falling off the bottom of first page as a recent topic. :P

Code:
asc0 = {ASC 08593}
asc1 = {ASC 08595}
Should be
Code:
asc0 := Char(08593)
asc1 := Char(08595)


That might fix it but im not sure. I don't this ASCII goes that high.

Edit: Did you mean hex values?
Code:
asc0 := Char(0x08593)
asc1 := Char(0x08595)

you don't need to use unicode to show upwards or downwards arrow.

Code:
msgbox % Chr(24) ; upwards arrow
msgbox % Chr(25) ; downwards arrow, seems problematic

I've spent about 2 hours scouring all the posts dealing with Unicode, Unicode2Ansi(), etc.

All I want to do is display some Greek characters in a message box and Gui :roll:

Seems like there have been may requests for this seeminly simple funciton, but no easy answers.

Here's my best attempt:
Code:
wString := "α" ; greek text to be displayed in message box or GUI

DisplayText := Unicode2Ansi(wString, sString)   ; sString *SHOULD* (I asssume?) be the output (return) value form the funtion

; Greate Gui
Gui, Add, Text, +Center vDisplayText, Text
GuiControl,, DisplayText, %DisplayText%         ; display α character in GUI
Gui, Show, x800 y300 h50 w100, New GUI Window

Msgbox, Unicode Text: %DisplayText%             ; display α character in Msgbox.

Return

Unicode2Ansi(ByRef wString, ByRef sString, CP = 0) ; Code lifted fom the Unicode2Ansi conversion posts
{
     nSize := DllCall("WideCharToMultiByte"
      , "Uint", CP
      , "Uint", 0
      , "Uint", &wString
      , "int",  -1
      , "Uint", 0
      , "int",  0
      , "Uint", 0
      , "Uint", 0)

   VarSetCapacity(sString, nSize)

   DllCall("WideCharToMultiByte"
      , "Uint", CP
      , "Uint", 0
      , "Uint", &wString
      , "int",  -1
      , "str",  sString
      , "int",  nSize
      , "Uint", 0
      , "Uint", 0)
}
