Hi! I have characters which are recognized by Excel itself, however, when referring to them from the VBA editor something gets wrong.

For example if I write the expression of ? Cells(1,"A").Value into the Intermediate Window, I get "a?" so VBA can't recognize. (Latin characters)

Excel recognizes them applying a lot of font, for example Lucida Sans Unicode.

Do you have any idea, what to do? Thank you!


[TABLE="width: 64"]
<colgroup><col width="64" style="width:48pt"> </colgroup><tbody>[TR]
[TD="class: xl65, width: 64"]aʊ[/TD]
[/TR]
[TR]
[TD="class: xl65"]eɪ[/TD]
[/TR]
[TR]
[TD="class: xl65"]oʊ[/TD]
[/TR]
[TR]
[TD="class: xl65"]ɔɪ[/TD]
[/TR]
</tbody>[/TABLE]

Ambidextrous Undo
Undo last command with Ctrl+Z or Alt+Backspace. If you use the Undo icon in the QAT, open the drop-down arrow to undo up to 100 steps.
They're Unicode characters (e.g., the second character is lowercase upsilon). The VBE doesn't handle them, but VBA does in string variables. What are you trying to do?

Shg, thank you for your reply!

I want to do some actions based on cell's value:
so
If left(cells(1,2).Value),1)=Cells(1,1).Value then 'CELLS(x,1) containing for example the characters:
[TABLE="class: cms_table, width: 64"]
<tbody>[TR]
[TD="class: cms_table_xl65, width: 64"]aʊ[/TD]
[/TR]
[TR]
[TD="class: cms_table_xl65"]eɪ[/TD]
[/TR]
[TR]
[TD="class: cms_table_xl65"]oʊ[/TD]
[/TR]
[TR]
[TD="class: cms_table_xl65"]ɔɪ[/TD]
[/TR]
</tbody>[/TABLE]

How can I make VBA understand this?
