A typical use for char is to create characters you cannot type and append them to strings. For
example, create the character for the degree symbol and append it to a string. The Unicode code
value for the degree symbol is 176.
deg = char(176)
deg =
'°'
myLabel = append("Current temperature is 21",deg,"C")
myLabel =
"Current temperature is 21°C"
For more information on Unicode, including mappings between characters and code values, see
Unicode.
