Its like a 1 but with the line at the top pointing horizontally left

Or

Rotate an L by 180 degrees and it looks like that

Click the start button on your computer, click programs, then accessories, then system tools, and use the character map, it might be on that.

I think I found it but imnot sure ‫ how to transfer it to see if my programme works with it‫‫‫‬‫

[albear]

Any programmers out there know how?

Do you mean this one:¬?

If so it's on the key to the LEFT of the number 1 at the top of the keyboard.
Simply press Shift and that key.

Not sure what you mean curlyben, ¬ is not on my keyboard directly to the left of the number 1. to the left of the 1 on my (US English) keyboard I have `(grave accent) and ~ (tilde) if you hit shift. ¬ is not on my keyboard. In windows we have the Character Map program (probably under Accessories:System Tools) and it tells me that ¬ is called "Not Sign" and that you can get it by pressing and holding the alt key and then pressing 0172 and releasing alt. Also, from Ascii Table - ASCII character codes and html, octal, hex and decimal chart conversion I can tell you that it's ascii character 170. In c, to use it as a char you would

char a;
a=170;
//or maybe
a='¬';

To use it in a string I think you would

char s[10];
//\xAA is giving the hexadecimal version of 170 which is AA
s="1234\xAA6789\0";

//or maybe even 

s="1234¬6789";

Which I believe will become "1234¬6789"
You can probably extrapolate from that if you're using some other type of string.

Hope this helps a little. Ask if something isn't clear.

I found it, asked a friend o'mine turns out it was a wierdly shapped l, (on my keyboard ¬ is next to 1 and below Esc)

All the codes you need are here: Ascii Table - ASCII character codes and html, octal, hex and decimal chart conversion

Do you mean the tilde? "~"

[albear]

? No it was the style of writing in my kit just made it look like a 1 but it was a lower case L

[asterisk_man]

I guess there's this in UK


But this in US:

[albear]

Cool, (I see the us version ignores the £ sign)

[NeedKarma]

It all makes sense now. It depends on the mapping of your keyboard (selection of country codes).

[Emland]

What is the proper use for the "tilde" and the other thing the OP asked about? (what is it called again?)

[NeedKarma]

The tilde is used often in PC games ot access the console. But in regular use: Tilde - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

I only ever use it to represent an approximation, to say "it's around $5" or ~$5.

I know what you mena it's called a pipe.
This one: |
