May you explain better your case? I use letters like èéòçà§ùì without problem.
What OS do you use?

Hi panosdk,
Lookup unicodeText in the Dictionary. Also search these forums for unicode, questions like yours have been asked many times before.
I think one of the kickstarter stretch goals was to make this sort of thing easier.

Hi panosdk,
I thought it might be the Answer/Ask dialogs you were asking about. The messagebox is something else entirely.
Here:

It looks like iOS may have a bug (but the last post was in 2011 so it's probably fixed by now).
If that thread does not make sense to you, just ask and I can explain it a bit more.

No problem.
Just keep asking questions as best you can. Somebody will get it.
