Macros that reveal the ASCII and Unicode numbers for a character:

To create a macro that will reveal the ASCII value of a character, copy the following text into Word's macro editor:

Public Sub GetCharASCII()
MsgBox "CharCode is: " & Asc(Selection)
End Sub

Select the character before you run the macro.

To learn the Unicode value of a character, copy the following text into Word's macro editor:

Sub ToggleCharCode()
Selection.ToggleCharacterCode
End Sub

To use this second macro, position the cursor to the right of the mystery character and run the macro. To restore the original character, run the macro again.
