I found some vbs code online that had a character that appears invisible in browsers but still can be copied, it only appears in text editors like notepad. however I have tried this on windows 7 and it doesn't appear in the correct format. it appears on my windows 10, but when using the this strange character in windows 7 with things variables it prevents the code from working and proceeds to an error.
to see this character you have to copy the blank line in-between these parenthesis, if you cannot copy between the parenthesis then try copying the parenthesis with the bank line all together. paste in notepad afterwards~
" "
the character appears as a "Up-Arrow-Sign" in windows 10 but in windows 7 it appears as an "Egyptian-Ankh-Sign" On some computers you cannot even copy this character and paste into notepad?
my main question is does anyone know what the name of this symbol is, what it's purpose in vbs, why it is invisible in browsers, and why any of the code that involves this symbol in vbs (Doesn't have to exactly be vbs code) works in windows 10 but doesn't appear correctly on windows 7?
another thing is that the character in browsers (I'm using Google Chrome) can represent multiple of the same symbols all by using one character space.
for example copy between the parentheses.
" " - - - - - This appears 5 "Up-Arrow-Signs" but only takes up one space.
Why is this?
Lastly what makes this character different from other characters like this?
"©","♣","▓","Ώ","֍","¾"
Here is a example of what this character can be used for, things like messages, or encryption, or what ever.
msgbox " some random weird character ",," some random weird character title "
also if the character does appear on your computer, and you do have a logical explanation to what it is, it would be helpful if you could post your windows version to help me better understand it's symbol over a computerate point of view.
if it doesn't appear as a "Up-Arrow-Sign" on your computer version, it would be appreciated if you would inform that it doesn't work and post your windows version.
i have tried this over 5 computers at my school (All windows 7), doesn't work at school but works on my computer at home (Which is windows 10).
