Syntax
Copy
public static string ToSymbol(
	string s
)

Parameters

s
Type: SystemString
The string to convert.

Return Value

Type: String
The symbol with offending characters removed.
Remarks
Note that "_" is not quite accurate. Actually the RegEx "\w" word character is used which, in addition to alphanumerics, allows Pc (any Unicode Characters in the 'Punctuation, Connector' Category). The only common such character in English is the underbar ("_"), but there are a number of other uncommon connectors allowed.
