Writing a hex escaped char in Powershell
powershell-3.0
Solution
I’d like to offer a different approach than casting as hex. Instead of using hex, PowerShell 7 supports Unicode character encoding (see article about_special_characters > Unicode characters). So, with x041 as Latin capital A, the Unicode equivalent would be `"`u{41}"`. The Microsoft docs example demonstrated with this example: `"`u{2195}"` (note the backtick precedes the letter).
Problem
Is there any way to write something like this in Powershell? (Linux would be with Perl) ``` char foo = '\x41'; ``` I need to input some non-printable characters to one of my programs
