Hello All

Delphi 7 stores special characters, for example german Umlaute (äöü) as a
numeric representation in the form-resource files.
For example a Caption of a button:

'Käfig' is stored as 'K'#228'fig'

Is this a UTF8 representatioin of the Umlaut and how can I convert it into
its ascii representation?

TIA
TOM

No - it is a Windows ANSI character set representation. It is exactly the
same syntax as you would write in your Delphi source code.

More accurately, it's the Unicode code point for that character.
