Purpose
Returns a one-character string corresponding to a specified character code. This function is the Unicode corollary of the Chr$() function, so that the num_expr encoding maps to the Unicode character codes rather than the system environment character codes. You can call this function from the MapBasic window in MapInfo Pro.
Syntax
ChrU$( num_expr ) num_expr is an integer value from 0 to 65,535, inclusive.
Return Value
String
Description
The ChrU$() function returns a string, one character long, based on the character code specified in the num_expr parameter.
Note: Except for the character encoding mapping, the usage and behavior of ChrU$() is the same as Chr$(). ChrU$() is only applicable for Unicode version of MapInfo Pro and returns a [space] character in non-Unicode MapInfo Pro.
Example
The following example displays the Unicode character "€", the Unicode Arabic character "س", and the Unicode Traditional Chinese character "弊":
