Parse Pilcrows From String

This is frustrating me. I have a String that has two pilcrows in it. It looks like I can't put pilcrows in here so here is an image of it: enter image description here

How can I parse out the pilcrows from the String named, NameOfUser? I have tried:

NameOfUser.IndexOf(Chr(182))

But that doesn't work, returns a -1. I have also tried copying and pasting the pilcrow to pass that as the parameter, but it wouldn't allow that character in Visual Studio. So I'm at a loss here, if anyone could help me out. I feel it has to be a simple syntax thing that I'm missing.

thanks, Justin

You can just copy-paste the pilcrow. This works for me:

 NameOfUser.IndexOf("¶"c)

Or use the ChrW function:

NameOfUser.IndexOf(ChrW(182))

Try using ALT + 0182 right within the string value in Visual Studio code editor. See if this makes a difference. Also check the integer Unicode value of the character at the particular index.
