{{DISPLAYTITLE:_MAPUNICODE}}
The [[_MAPUNICODE]] statement maps a [[Unicode]] value to an [[ASCII]] character code value.



{{PageSyntax}}
: [[_MAPUNICODE]] {{Parameter|unicode&}} '''TO''' {{Parameter|asciiCode%}}


* The [[LONG]] {{Parameter|unicode&}} value is a [[HEX$|hexadecimal]] or decimal code value from a [[Unicode]] [[Code Pages|Code Page]]. 
* The {{Parameter|asciiCode%}} [[INTEGER]] parameter is any [[ASCII]] or Extended code value from 0 to 255.
* Use the Unicode Page Table values listed here: [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Category:DOS_code_pages DOS Code Pages] or [http://unicode.org/Public/MAPPINGS/VENDORS/MICSFT/WINDOWS/ Windows Mapping]
* Once the codes are mapped, key entries will display the unicode character in the '''monospace ''' [[_FONT|font]] selected.
* The [[_MAPUNICODE (function)|_MAPUNICODE]] function can be used to verify or read the present [[Unicode]] UTF32 code point settings.
* '''[[_MAPUNICODE]] can place the Unicode characters TO any [[ASCII]] code space you desire (0 to 255)'''.
