Returns the character that corresponds to a Unicode character code (sometimes called the code point).

Valid Unicode character codes are integers from 0 to 65535. An error occurs if Val is less than 0 or greater than 65535.

If the current data value is NULL, Val is 0 and the return value is a string containing a single null character. ChrW cannot distinguish between a 0 received for a NULL value and an actual 0 passed in.

All values in the range 0-65535 are treated as valid Unicode characters, even though some of these values are not currently assigned as Unicode characters. In addition some values correspond to non-printable characters. The returned character is displayed correctly only if the font you are using supports that character.

This example uses the ChrW function to return the character for a specified character code:

The return value is "a".
