I need to save and printing later a character string with a "special"
character

I should insert the special character "great equal to" or the "less equal
to"
with a single character, not as   > =   or    <=
I read in a previous message to a wide string but I do not understand how to
do.

Thanks

Carlos

What character and to what type of field are you saving it ?   Certain
unprintable characters can be saved to string/memo fields, but #0 (NULL
terminator) cannot.

As mentioned above the character are "great equal to" and  "less equal to"
e.g.: Arial font U+2264  and U+2265
Type of field is your choice. Now is string but I can change it...

Ahh, sorry about that - I thought that the >= and <= bit was about what you
wanted to do with the characters.

So you want to insert Unicode characters into an ANSI string ?  I'm not sure
if this will be possible due to issues with the leading byte in the two-byte
Unicode character.  What I would try is to implicitly cast the WideChar to
an ANSI string like this:

  MyField.AsString:=WideChar(Word(2264));

But I'm not sure if this will work with the default code page conversion
that takes place when Delphi converts WideStrings to AnsiStrings.
