Printing the " and backspace characters on a LCD

Hello everyone

I hope you are all well. I've just finished creating a font for my LCD which consists basically out of a lot of special characters / symbols which I want to make use of.

I'm busy mapping the symbols to the applicable characters but have run into a road block.

Everything works fine except for the " and the backspace character. I'm unsure how to print these using a the UTFT library's myGLCD.print command.

Here is and example of how the code looks:

myGLCD.print("v w x y z { | } ~",10, 350);

So on one website I read that you can print the backspace character as \b but that displayed a funky character which is not what I was looking for. Looking forward to your wisdom guys. Wishing you a wonderful weekend ahead.

Regards
Dirk

The backspace character is probably not a character.
The '\b' is code 8, that is below the normal readable characters.
What should it look like, according to you ?

The double quotation mark uses the '"'

myGLCD.print("Double quotation mark is this \" character");
Serial.print("\"");   // print "
