Example: Unicode letters as ChrW expressions

VBA's classic editor may not preserve Ukrainian or Cyrillic letters typed directly inside module string literals on every Windows configuration. Using ChrW lets your macro construct text at runtime from Unicode code units.

MsgBox ChrW(&H041F) & ChrW(&H0440)

This expression displays the two letters Пр. The free converter generates the entire expression, including emoji represented by UTF-16 code units where needed. It is not a general fix for incorrectly decoded source files or text already replaced with question marks.

Read the step-by-step Unicode/VBA troubleshooting guide. The VBA function generator can produce a reusable function for longer text.

Before running the converted VBA

  1. Copy text from an original source that still contains the correct characters.
  2. Paste it into the online converter and choose hexadecimal or decimal ChrW values.
  3. Review line breaks and quoted sections in the output.
  4. Use the code in a copy of your workbook and confirm the result in Excel.
