Question

How can I insert ASCII special characters (e.g. with the ASCII value 0x01) into a string?

I ask because I am using the following:

str.Replace( '<TAG1>', Convert.ToChar(0x01).ToString() ); 

and I feel that there must be a better way than this. Any Ideas?

Update:

Also If I use this methodology, do I need to worry about unicode & ASCII clashing?

I believe you can use \uXXXX to insert specified codes into your string.

ETA: I just tested it and it works. 🙂

using System; class Uxxxx {     public static void Main() {         Console.WriteLine('\u20AC');     } }
