    then combine accordingly like that:

    Code:
    a_left=(byte_var & %11111000)>>3
    to make it right justified if needed.

    Found interesting thing. On power up, custom character area in normal LCD are empty, but on WS0010 OLED displays, they are filled with random numbers on power up.

    On the custom character, unless explicitly stated, you should consider it full of rubbish.

    Yes, but on LCD it is usually empty. On OLED - it is filled with different garbage on each power up.
    Anyways, problem solved, also did some nice animation, will post code and video later.

    Actually, it works on any 1602 LCD too, just animation is not so smooth. Will post code a bit later.
