Hi Cubitus,

Thanks.

In the datasheet op de LCD block I found the value of 0xF4 for the omega symbol. But how can I use that in flowocode?

Kind regards

Jan

Hi Jan,
Have you tried PrintASCII 0xF4?

How do I add greek symbols to a string?

Kind regards

Hello Jan,

You can add the character to the string like this.

strvar[x] = 0xf4

where x is the location in the string you want to add the symbol.

Or you can simply type in the string and at the point you want to insert the symbol hold down the Alt key and type the number 244 on the numeric keypad on your keyboard and then release the Alt key. You should get something looking like this.

String = "Test¶"

This method does not work for the numeric digits above the letters on the keyboard, just the numeric keypad.

Lastly you can use the Alt key method to assign the symbol to the location in the string array if you don't want to have to remember the hex value,

strvar[x] = '¶'

I use Alt + 248 a lot for good old °C

Another way is ...

Code: Select all

mystring = "Omega=\xf4"
