    Concatenating symbols in a string?

    Hello,

    I was just wondering how can we concatenate symbols to our strings. I need to concatenate a bullet "●" in the string but it doesnt seem to take it????
    When I go to paste the bullet, it turns into a question mark ???

    From what I understand, VBA does not play particularly well with UNICODE characters (at least, the ones beyond the standard ASCII characters). I think you will need to use the AscW() [https://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/vba...s/asc-function ] and ChrW() [https://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/vba...s/chr-function ] in order to work reliably with those characters.
