Storing special symbols

There are char and memo types' fields.
It is needed to insert into the editbox and textbox
the special simbols like ø (U+00D8) and some others to store them
in the memo and char fields. How is it possible ?

you can store any bytes in binary char or binary memo fields,
but the problem is displaying unicode characters.

Either you use some unicode capable controls (ActiveX)
or you convert these unicode chars to a codepage
and use properties like .FontCharSet

Read help on this and getfont().

one control capable to show such chracters easily is
the Web Browser control, as that displays any html.

Characters like ø are not that special, ?chr(0xd8)
displays it for me.
