Intersting effect with Format Into String


Recommended Posts

A simple code:

produces the following symbol

I tried some other characters after the backslash. Some remain the same while some result in other pseudo-graphics.

 

It is new for me. Is these any description of such a behavior? And why does it happen?

 

Thank you

I'm not sure if it's incorrect behavior although it is odd. See the help for "backslash codes display." It appears that Format Into String is interpreting backslash codes in the format string.

According to the help on Backslash ('') Codes Display f is the equivalent to 0x0C. You can see this if you change the string display to Hex format.

 

So you can also write ♀ by holding alt and then pressing 0, 1, 2 on the numeric keypad,then releasing alt. (for this forum text entry leave off the preceding zero)
