What is the encoding for the tick mark?

Hello,

What is the encoding for the tick mark?.. I thought it was Encodings.utf8.chr(251)

Thanks.

If by tick mark, you mean check mark, here is what the character viewer in OS X gives
?
CHECK MARK
Unicode: U+2713, UTF-8: E2 9C 93

Thanks Harrie, but how is that written in a string?

g.drawstring Encodings.U+2713 …

&u2713

Just like you had but change the 251 to &U2713

Thanks Eli and Harrie

Encodings.utf8.chr(&u2713) does not compile but &u2713 compiles.

Thanks again.

Encodings.utf8.chr(&h2713)

Thanks Eli,
That works too.

Why not just type

s = "?"

The code editor does use UTF8. This should be much easier…

Thanks but it is being used in a print routine … g.drawstring Encodings.utf8.chr(&h2713) …
