Hi,

TextPad is my favorite text editor. I am looking for a feature where one can select a character and see its ANSI value. Presently, we can see all ANSI values from Clip Library. We have to search in ANSI Value list of Clip Library. It would be nice, if we can find out a character's ANSI value by selecting it and choosing some menu option.

I am not sure if its alreay present. If its already there, then please let me know.

I am asking this because I faced problems with some of my Text Data which came in following ways:

Patient’s
Patient's

If you notice the single quote character is different in both case....

There is no such thing as an ANSI value. If your character codepoint is between 0x00 and 0x7F then it has an ASCII value. Above that, it has a value in the current Windows codepage, and a (possibly different) value in Unicode (aka ISO-IEC 10646).

However, I agree that being able to see the Unicode codepoint of a character would be a useful thing.
