    In most HD44780 compatible LCD displays, you can only create 8 user-defined characters. They normally are the first eight character addresses (00h-07h). It's been a while since I have played with this, so if I can dig up an example, I'll post it.


    Found something to get you started, but not an "example":
    Have a look at Everday Practical Electronics articles on "How to use Intelligent LCDs". The first article, in experiment 6, explains how to use the 8 custom characters.

    Will post more if I find it.

    HTH,
    Steve
