Displaying temperature symbol - avr

I am trying to output degree centigrade symbol from atmega2560 from serial port. I looked up at ascii table. The ascii code it said was 167. When I tried it there was another symbol instead which I can't show here. After doing little bit of research, I tried 0167+248. It displayed '○' instead of '°'. Other posts said that Alt + 167 works but could not find ascii code for Alt. Any suggestions ?

The format of the extended ASCII table (symbols from 127 to 255) depends on the code page that is used.

You should figure out on what code page you are currently working. Like ISO 8859-1 (Latin-1) for example.
Other posts said that Alt + 167 works but could not find ASCII code for Alt.
What they meant is to press the ALT key and enter 167 on the numpad. This prints the character on position 167 (decimal) from the current code page.
Remember that the ASCII value that is send from the micro controller is just interpreted on the receiver side according on its code page.

Is there a way to override the interpretation line with an arbitrary value in ZPL

I have looked at the Zebra documentation for ZPL as well as searched here on SO to no avail. My scenario is this, I wish to print a barcode on a label using a Zebra printer and ZPL print language but instead of the interpretation line (the human-readable bit below the barcode) being the human-readable version of the barcode I would like it to be a totally different value, e.g. a persons name.
This is the ZPL II guide I am using for reference: http://www.ypsylon.com/download/ZPLII_Guida.pdf
You cannot override the text that prints as part of the interpretation line (aka human readable), however you can turn the interpretation line off and add second text field:
^XA
^BY3,3,146^FT52,166^BCN,,N,N
^FD>:your_barcode_data_here^FS
^FT241,309^A0N,28,28^FH\^FDyour_text_data_here^FS
^PQ1,0,1,Y^XZ
To turn off the human readable set the 3rd parameter of the ^BC command to N.
You can play with the position of the text field to get the desired effect.
Check page page 89 of the current manual for more info.

How to add ASCI Char in TStringGrid Cells

I'm not expert in Delphi and I'm trying to add "Extended ASCII String" broken into individual character and then add into the TSgringGrid.Cells[x,y]. Some of the characters are getting displayed but rest of the characters are not shown in these cells. Another way for me is to convert these characters in Hex-Mode and then show it but this is not Required.
ChartSet used was OEM_CHARSET and Font = Terminal. I simply wish to display all 255 characters in Cell. Basically I wanted to created the Binary Editor like Edit.com in Delphi/ Lazarus which is available in XP.
I used AnsiToUtf8(chr(i)) and it was solved.

Why does the text that is read in from a text file get turned into a black square and then the first letter?

The folder names should not have black squares for example the 'j' folder should actually be joshua.murray and not have a black square in front of it.
I was just wondering if anyone else has ever had this problem?
It's the unicode byte order mark (BOM). It a two or three byte header that says what type of unicode it is.
 ■K e i
is what a UTF 16 (notepad's unicode format) looks like as OEM in a command prompt.

Code 128 (dhl) barcode and something missing in bars

Currently I'm creating dhl label using zpl command. I'm new to zpl commands.
I have used BC - zpl command for code 128 barcode. This is my code:
^BCN,,N,N^FD>:2LDE44536+99000900153004^FS
My problem: Above zpl code create barcodes, but when I check this barcode
http://barcode.tec-it.com/
value : 2LDE44536+99000900153004
my barcode bars look different.
Please guide me right format use here for get right barcode.
Thanks in advance
Have you scanned both codes to compare data? Check the manual to be sure, but the >: is specifying subset B (Normal Alpha Numeric). Your + symbol may be getting dropped.

ZPL PDF-417 barcode symbol generates with extra spaces on Intermec PM4i

We are designing a label to be printed from SAP to an Intermec PM4i printer in ZSim mode. The printer is using the Generic Text driver, meaning that we can send raw ZSim-compatible ZPL code to the printer.
The content of the PDF417 barcode must be one string exactly 100 characters in length. This is my customer's requirement, not mine.
We developed an application that generates the proper ZPL code with all the characters in their proper position. However, when validating the printed barcode with a scanner using Motorola's 123Scan2 utility, all our data is there but we keep getting 6 additional spaces at around position 70 of the string, resulting in a string 106 characters long.
We also sent the ZPL code to the printer from a text editor and observed the same results. Below code snippet is what we are using to generate the barcode.
^XA
^MMT
^PW609
^LL0203
^BY2,4^FT331,111^B7N,4,0,,,N
^FH\^FDMN23012635105 A MN239598U205 QDR-032565.14812 H030^FS
^XZ
I have also experimented with sending the spaces as hex and that actually resulted in more extra spaces.
I am not sure what we are missing. Any ideas or suggestions will be greatly appreciated.
