Android and "≤" operator

[vcirilli]

When I run on the Mac the "≤" operator works as expected.
When I run on a Android device or emulator the app just hangs.
Wasted a ton of time troubleshooting to find this.
Might there be some documentation that blacklists what doesn't work on Android?

if sTime ≤ 0 then
-- On Android hangs
-- On Mac works as expected
end if


Thanks

Hi Vincent,

try to avoid NON ASCII character like this one.
That will also fail on Windows!

Use two characters like:
>=
<=
<>
etc...

Some people hereabouts may not be familiar with the term 'ASCII', so here is a chart of the ASCII
characters:

≤ is NOT mentioned in the LiveCode Dictionary

Additional hint, may not apply to the thread starter: Android also does not like UMLAUTS in filenames!
I had something like -> bär.jpg (german for bear) which made Android choke, had to rename the file(s) to baer.jpg
