Hi all,
I'm trying to put the euro symbol in a field but it seems impossible, under Android I always get a strange character. I did several tests but them failed even with the command set the html ... does anyone know if it is possible?

Hi,
On both the Dutch and English (UK) Android keyboards, I can choose the numeric keyboard, type alt and type €.
Kind regards,
Mark

This is great, unfortunately if I put the "€" in a field programmatically or in the field contents via inspector, then on Android I cant see it...

Hi,
That must be a font problem. Try setting the font to Droid Serif or Droid Sans or include a font with your standalone.
Kind regards,
Mark

Thank you Mark. I will try.
PS
The problem occurs also in ask dialogs when I put "€" as defaultResponse

Update, the only way to avoid this problem is to avoid to use the € symbol under Android. Whether anyone has solved this problem please post info here. Thank you!

Not sure if it works in a native text field but can you:
set char 1 of fld 1 to image "myEuro"?
Sure it would be a pain 'cause I'm guessing ₤ or ¥ don't work either.

¥, £ and $ work great. The problem is only with €.

Umm, maybe better to check imagesource in the dictionnary which says:
Syntax:
set the imageSource of character to {imageID |imageName |imageURL |empty}
Examples:
set the imageSource of char 1 of line 2 of field "This" to 2533
set the imageSource of char thisChar of field 1 to "Arrow"
set the imageSource of last char of me to "binfile:My Image"
