After reading this comment, I decided to find out what the ASC number is for (option g) or the character © so I wrote a little program to display it using me.text=str(Asc("©")) in an edit field's open event. It's 169. So I expanded the code to:


There is no ASCII code for the copyright symbol as you have demonstrated. ASCII is only defined for 0 through 127 and since 169 is outside that range then it isn't ASCII. But, of course, it is only 169 in one particular text encoding. In a different text encoding it could well be some completely different number, and probably is.
