I am trying to print right filled arrow ► in C# this is I tried

   Console.WriteLine((char)16);
 }

but it is showing the output as ? (question mark) I have gone through this question also but the it doesn't seem to work. Can you help me with correct ASCII code which shows the correct output?

Solution

  • You can easily convert char to int and thus obtain its code:

      char arrow = '►'; // Copy + Paste from the question

  Console.Write($"{arrow} : {(int)arrow} : \\u{(int)arrow:X4}";);

    Outcome:

      ► : 9658 : \u25BA

    and that's why you can put 

      char arrow = '\u25BA';
