Thank you
It worked for me . . .
Have you looked at your Wingding font in Windows Charmap ?
Hi, Raptor!
Really!? Thanks.
I'm using Windows 7 x64 and checked the charmap out. It seems fine (it shows 0xDD=221)
I just found out if I input from 33 to 126, it works fine, but if I input the number larger than 126,
the character is garbled.
I don't understand a thing (@σ@;

Why using a char ?
The char type takes 1 byte of memory (8 bits) and allows expressing in the binary notation 2^8=256 values. The char type can contain both positive and negative values. The range of values is from -128 to 127.
Try this :
string Icon=IntegerToString(Code); ObjectSetString (0,"TEST",OBJPROP_TEXT,Icon);
I did wonder about that, CharToString() takes a uchar, but as the code worked for me I couldn't investigate ways of trying to fix it.
In fact, what I proposed above doesn't work. So as you noted it's better to use uchar.
input uchar Code = 221; void OnStart() { ObjectCreate(0,"TEST",OBJ_LABEL,0,0,0); ObjectSetInteger(0,"TEST",OBJPROP_XDISTANCE,200); ObjectSetInteger(0,"TEST",OBJPROP_YDISTANCE,200); ObjectSetInteger(0,"TEST",OBJPROP_FONTSIZE,20); ObjectSetString (0,"TEST",OBJPROP_FONT,"Wingdings"); string Icon=CharToString(Code); ObjectSetString (0,"TEST",OBJPROP_TEXT,Icon); ObjectSetInteger(0,"TEST",OBJPROP_CORNER,CORNER_RIGHT_LOWER); ObjectSetInteger(0,"TEST",OBJPROP_ANCHOR,ANCHOR_RIGHT); }
I'm sorry for the late reply!
Thank you, Simon & Alain
I tried this code
string Icon=IntegerToString(Code); ObjectSetString (0,"TEST",OBJPROP_TEXT,Icon);
but it doesnt work fine.
Is this the cause of that?

It seems there is no workaround for this :(
Maybe it is a language issue, either in Windows or MT5, are you using English language or some other language ?
? ?
Have you tried creating the Label manually on a chart ?

I tried creating the Label from Scrpt but it didn't work
It doesn't work with an integer as I said in this post, my mistake. Have you tried with uchar instead of char ?
It didn't either but your advice was very helpful
Thank you :)

Hi, A HAPPY NEW YEAR! Guys :)
I'm struggling with Wingdings
With the above script, the character is garbled as below. Why is that?
But with the following parameter, it works fine.
