Thread Name: Tech: CopyUnicode: Create any char
Subject: RE: Tech: CopyUnicode: Create any char
BillD: Unchecking the checkbox (that is, pasting in the raw character) is unsafe, leading in many cases to the very display problems that the escape sequence resolves. It happened to work because those characters weren't in your default codepage, so the input system encoded them for you. But the characters you'd most often use the tool for probably are in your codepage, so you'd be pasting in non-portable values for them. For the full scoop, see my guide (link in the second message).
