Character conversion help

[cjtaylor]

I am having a problem trying to figure out how to convert the registered symbol so it displays like ® instead of like this ? (actually displays as a square) in my code. How do I convert this so when I assign my label.Text property, it displays like the following on my form.

Capital One® Credit Cards

instead of

Capital One? Credit Cards. (instead of a square)

Thanks



Capital One? Credit Cards
Capital One® Credit Cards

Easiest check is to see that the font you're using in the textbox has that character in it.

Next thing to do is to follow the data from it's source to where it's being displayed, and making sure that at each stage any transformations are being done correctly. For example: If the data was stored in a single-byte encoding, make sure that the translation to Unicode specified the correct source codepage.

Note that there's no real way to inspect the source data to identify the codepage -- you either just have to know it, or provide a way outside of the data for the provider to tell you what it was.
