I believe you'd convert it as decimal to hex

Thank you so much. So I can simply convert it...let say -77 as 77?

-77 = 77 = M?

Think it should equal 4D... Is M the String representation?

Yes. But I see it. Converting it to hex it is 4D and if string it is M.

 

thank you for your help!

this is more than likely UTF-8 encoded Unicode string but if any other forum member could provide further insight on if it's possibly different then I'm probably wrong... But no problem glad to help!
