I would like to create a list of emoji, unicode, and ASCII codes using the CHAR and UniChar functions. Right now I have a number them all on several spreadsheets but it has gotten really unwieldy.

There are over 100,000 unicode codes and I would like to display some pf them on a spreadsheet or userform dynamically (the number then the symbol associated with it).

I would like the user to be able to add a range of numbers (like 10000 to 100099) to the spreadsheet then having the cells populate with the number and theassociated Code (e.g. (Char(131)-"ƒ")or UniChar(129374 -"?")
,

Is this feasible or am in dreaming? I was thinking about using labels on a userform but this might make the userform too big.

Thank you for your help,

Michael
 
Why not use the Character Map application included with Windows? It would accomplish the same thing, I think.

Using Windows 10, this app is located under Windows Accessories. You can also start the Character Map app from the Run menu, Winkey+R, then typing charmap (or charmap.exe).

Hi Michael

I guess maybe I don't understand what you mean by this.

Is this not just something like, for ex., writing the numbers 10000 to 19999 in column A and in column B use the formula

=UNICHAR(A1)

???
Please clarify
