EDIT: I have now found the solution. I went to my font and added a new range, and added ASCII values. I have now solved the problem.
I have not had any success in being able to draw text with special symbols. I have had luck using the chr() function for standard letters, but I am having issues drawing the degree symbol. I know how to combine strings.
I am too new to post links, but if you google "Yoyogames" and "Font Tables" it lists special characters along with their numbers. The degree sign is 176. If I use the ord() function for letter A, it displays 65, which is what I expect. For the degree sign, it displays 176, which confirms that it is in the system. But how do I display it?
Taking the chr() function of 65 displays A, but taking the chr() of 176 displays nothing. I have tried simply putting the degree sign in quotes (copied and pasted from outside GMS) and still, nothing shows up. How can I get the degree sign to show up?
Thank you.
