ChrW Function [VBA]

Returns the Unicode character that corresponds to the specified character code.

This function or constant is enabled with the statement Option VBASupport 1 placed before the executable program code in a module.

Syntax:


ChrW(Expression As Integer)

Return value:

String

Parameters:

Expression: Numeric variables that represent a valid 16 bit Unicode value (0-65535). (To support expressions with a nominally negative argument like ChrW(&H8000) in a backwards-compatible way, values in the range −32768 to −1 are internally mapped to the range 32768 to 65535.) An empty value returns error code 5. A value out of the range [0,65535] returns error code 6.

Error codes:

5 Invalid procedure call

6 Overflow

Example:


Sub ExampleChrW
 ' This example inserts the Greek letters alpha and omega in a string.
 MsgBox "From "+ ChrW(913)+" to " + ChrW(937)
 ' The printout appears in the dialog as: From Α to Ω
End Sub
