You may try \uchar{"20}{"19}. On Thu, Feb 19, 2009 at 09:48:50PM -0300, Maur憝cio wrote:

Hi,

This is probably a really basic question already asked many times, but I wasn't able to find an answer.

How to type an unicode character using its number? Searching for messages, I found things like:

"2019 \char"2019 \char{"2019} \utfchar{"2019}

but I wasn't able to get any of them to work. (I don't know for sure they actually should do what I want.)

'texexec --version' says:

TeXExec | version 6.2.0 - 1997-2006 - PRAGMA ADE/POD

Thanks, Maur韈io
