Hi all, I'm searching for a unicode to create a infinity symbol. (or any other way to do that) I have just found some unicodes for the symbol but in java all these don't work. Does anyone know what is the number for the unicode infinity or how to get the symbol?

Cant you just copy this: ∞ and paste it into a string?

Thank you now it works. But I still got one question: Wouldn't this be corect too? Character.toString('\u8734') Thats what I tried before but there was no infinity symbol but a simple rect. Have I done something wrong there?

No. The positions with "*" in "('\u****')" are hexadecimal digits. Therefore, (char)8734 is equal to Character.toString('\u221E'). (16 * 16 * 16) * 2 + (16 * 16) * 2 + (16) * 1 + (1) * 14 = 8734

Oh ok. I didn't know that these values have to be hexadecimal. Thanks.
