All Caps button
When you press it, where does AE get/create the text? For example, I have a font with some numbers and when I press “All Caps” my numbers change size and typeface. I’ve looked at the character map and I can’t find them—I need the unicode to finish an expression.

I’m confused. You’re referring to the All Caps button in the AE Character window? That should just take whichever characters are selected on the current text layer and force them into their uppercase versions (or all characters if there isn’t a selection).
What typeface are you using?

I’m using a clients fonts. In regular mode, the numbers are below the baseline and different sizes. The only way to get the numbers to match and to move to the baseline is to press the all caps button in the character window. When I do this, the typeface for the numbers changes. I’ve looked in the windows character map tool, and I don’t find “Capital Numbers”, or any numbers that match this new typeface.
I even used the simple expression text.sourceText.toUpperCase() and the letters change, but not the numbers.
The reason I was trying to find where AE was getting these numbers was so I could find the unicode, so I could write and expression to automate some work, using two different fonts in one line, with variable source text.

Thanks for anyone taking a look at this and helping me work it out.
