Is there a tool for finding the Char code of a character?

I am trying to write a VB function to strip unwanted characters from a string. It is for generating a 'clean' url from data that has been inputted into a CMS. Someone has copied and pasted from a Word document and so there appears to be an mdash or ndash in the product title. This results in ─ appearing instead of -

I have tried a Replace(text, Chr(196), Chr(45)) but it isn't working so it can't be 196. Is there a tool or something where I can copy this character and paste it into the tool and it will tell me what char code it is?

Thanks.

You can make your program write out the Character Code using the finction Asc()

Response.write Asc("-") would write out

45

for example.
