I would like to be able to printout chess pieces using Unicode Hex 2654 thru 265f but I have not been able to do so, can you help me. I am using XP pro and Unicode 2.1.

Thank you,

Bill Sharry

Bill,

I assume when you say you can not disply the chess pieces, is that you are getting blank square boxes. If this is the case it means that the Font you are using to display the characters does not have any glyphs for these characters.

The only fonts that I know on Windows XP that have these glyphs are some East Asian fonts like MS Mincho or MS Gothic. To enable access to these fonts, you will need to enable the East Asian support for Windows XP. To learn how to do this see my site at:

Hope this helps.
