ASCII me no questions . . .

Hi all,

I've looked all over (but obviously not in the right place) for the ASCII Code to write small "00" underscored, like you write when making out a check.

Any ideas on the Code?

 

Chris,

That's not part of the regular or extended ASCII set, the closest is the oo without the underline (236) but can I ask why the need for ASCII?

 

Hi WF,

Sure — ask away!

Oh, wait, you did.

Anyway, I've often had to write $ amounts, and writing (e.g.) $400.00. just looks kinda weird to me.

I've used the infinity symbol (236) before but I was wondering if there was an ASCII Character Code for 8| (turn your head 90° to the left) to put after the $400. $400∞ looks even worserer, and $400°° is too much work and needs an underscore under the °°.

In MSWord if you put a number and nd, rd, or th after it, it will auto change to a small nd, rd, or th next to the number. So why doesn't money do that?

 

Ahh,

Different question and nothing to do with ASCII (here don't have a go at me it is an American Standard )

I'm not too familiar with word Chris, but have you checked out what auto replace facilities it has?

 

If you're using Word, highlight those two characters, then, in "Format Font" select "superscript ", then "underline" then a smaller font size than the integer amount of dollars. This technique will probably work in other WP programs, too.

 

Hi fdamp,

I tried that and it just comes up with °° after the $ amount. I then highlighted it (the °°) and clicked Underscore and it showed like I wanted it to.

However, when here or anywhere else, it doesn't translate.

Oh, well, we each have our little crosses to bear now, don't we.

 

By the by, anyone know how to make 1/3 in ASCII? I saw it once but I forgot to write it down.

 

Again this is not an ASCII character though 1/2 & 1/4 are

I think you're confusing ASCII with fonts, you can find the entire extended ASCII character set here.

 

I have an ASCII list I use regularly and have added dozens of characters I've found elsewhere around the web: ▲ ▼ ► ◄ ♂ ♀ (e.g.).

I know (I thimk) that I've seen 1/3 in addition to the standard ¼ ½ ¾ somewhere.

 

Thanks Steve I had half an idea what Chris was wanting but couldn't find the correct search parameters

Chris, please note these are not ASCII codes and many of those characters are not part of the ASCII set.

 

@Steve,

Every time I try the 8531 I get a capital "S" in Word (and elsewhere). I've tried all kinds of variations on 8531 and haven't been able to get 1/3; although the link you provided says it's kosher. Is it Unicode?
