Pointer sintaxis and keyboard

[JaimeReus]

To declare a pointer variable, I write this:

type
PtrInteger = ˆinteger;

I write the “ˆ” character pressing Alt, Shift and “ˆ`”.
I get this error message: illegal character “?” ($CB)

What’s wrong?
Thanks for your help•••

Code: Pascal  [Select][+][-]

1. type
2. PtrInteger = ^integer; // not type PtrInteger = ˆinteger;
3.  

'~' is illegal. You want '^'
Also note that this particular type PInteger is already declared by the RTL, as are all pointers to simple types....
