Summary<\/b>: Use Windows PowerShell to convert hexadecimal values to decimal and display Unicode characters.<\/span><\/p>\n

\"Hey, I found a cool Unicode table on the Internet, but all of the values are displayed as hexadecimal values.
           How can I use Windows PowerShell to translate them to integers and display the Unicode characters?<\/p>\n

\"Hey, Use the [Convert]<\/b> class, call the ToInt32<\/b> method, specify the value and 16, and call the [char] <\/b>class so you
           can convert the character to its Unicode character, for example:<\/p>\n

PS C:\\> [convert]::ToInt32("2326",16)<\/p>\n

8998<\/p>\n

PS C:\\> [char]8998<\/p>\n

\u2326<\/p>\n

Note<\/b>  Use the Windows PowerShell ISE because the Windows PowerShell console does not always display
Unicode characters properly.<\/p>\n
