[DUG] Thai Baht Symbol - Try Unicode

[Colin/Mina]

Steve,

   I think you are going to need to incorporate unicode. Learn about Unicode 
here:
                   http://perl.net.au/wiki/Unicode

   You will find the Thai character set here :
http://downloads.activestate.com/pub/apc/perl-current/ext/Encode/ucm/8859-11.ucm

            The Baht symbol in Unicode is U0E3F \ xDF | 0 #

I'm sure I've incorporporated UTF in Delphi some years ago but can't quickly 
find a reference to it.

Sorry for some reason I can't turn the above URLs into Hyperlinks. You'll 
need to cut and paste them into your browser.

HTH.

   Colin
