Symbol in Programming

[LindaCoedy]

The symbol b with a line through it is used for our AS/400 programming and we
are trying to do documentation. Does anyone know if there is a symbol for
this? Thanks.

It should be in Unicode somewhere. Try fonts such as Arial Unicode -
which has the Baht symbol, a B with a vertical line through it, though I
can't imagine where that comes into AS/400 programming, or why you
posted to a newsgroup for designing database structures.

A cursory glance at some Unicode symbols didn't show me that glyph, but
I have used it (lowercase "b" with "/" superposed) to represent a
visible placeholder for a blank space, back in the days when I used
pencil and paper for writing computer programs (long ago).

Are you converting AS/400 programs to VBA for use with Access? I'd
recommend just replacing each crossed-out "b" that appears in a quoted
string with a blank space. Access will keep track of them.
