To display a special character follow this....
If you have the characters viewer that comes with Windows installed, open it and see the cahracter that you want to use....Take a look at the font that it uses ...click on the chracter and see what number it is ex. Alt 0137
Next do this...
//This is an example.....you already saw the font's name from the char viewer and now place it here...
Button1.Font.Name := 'Symbol';
Button1.Caption := #227;//This would show you the Copyright symbol
