UNICODE

Application:

Scenario: You have a list of special characters or symbols that you need to identify and classify. For example, you might be an analyst working with data from different languages or sources, and you need to understand the underlying character codes to ensure consistent data processing and display.

Goal: Use the UNICODE function to get the numerical code for each character in your list. This is useful for troubleshooting display issues, creating custom sorting rules, or simply documenting the characters you are working with.
