Access unprintable characters

We're glad you came by, but you might find what you're looking for elsewhere. TI-Basic Developer is not the site it once was. While its information on commands and other calculator features remains almost second-to-none, its forum, archives, and even hosting service, Wikidot, have been decaying for years. The calculator community would love to see what you're working on, or help you in your next coding adventure, but TI-Basic Developer is no longer the place to do it. Instead, you should head over to Cemetech (primarily American) or TI-Planet (primarily international). Both are active, well-established forums with their own archives, chatrooms, reference material, and abundant coding tools and resources. We'll see you there, we hope.

Access unprintable characters

firebat 13 Feb 2009 23:44

I'm making a list of all the characters on the TI-84 Plus Silver Edition. It will be stored in a program that can be executed to restore all the characters in a string. It will look something like this:

prgmSYMBOLS
"~`@#$%&_\;………"->Str0
then you would use Rcl Str0 to get the characters

This handy program provides 131 of the characters, but it doesn't include all of the ones listed here. How do you input unprintable characters? I have TI-Graph Link, which might be able to access these characters but I don't know how.

Instead of directly answering your question, I will provide you a link to a forum thread. This does not give you a direct answer, but it should give you some good ideas.

BTW, Welcome to TI-Basic Developer!
