You can use SQL*Plus, if you are running it as a client from windows:

SQL> select ascii('µ') from dual;

ASCII('µ')

181

SQL> select chr(181) from dual;

CHR
---

µ

Or, again from windows, you can bring up the character map tool, choose a font like Courier, and find the character you are looking for. The hex ascii code is displayed for the character when you click on it. Convert to decimal, and there you are!

I have used the chr() function for some things, now I need to insert µ - the greek letter mu.

Anyone know a quick and easy way to find the ASCII value so I can use the chr() function
to insert this character into the database?

TIA,
