Excel VBA: chr-function error when using value > 255

Question

I'm trying to print the lambda (λ) character using following code:

depug.print chr(964)

I looked up the specific value for lambda for the chr-function here . Unfortunately I get a Runtime-Error 5 with the information that it is an invalid value.

I found out this seems to appear using values over 255.

Now I am curious , how to print that lambda character? Respectively any other greek character?

You should be able to use

 ActiveCell.Value = ChrW(&H3BB)
