Unicode characters don't work in the script editor. You need to create some workarounds using unicode encode and decode functions. Sorry bro.... http://newsletters.livecode.com/august/ ... etter4.php

Hi jasonshow,
just as a check, could you post a line of code showing how you'd use Chinese? Want to make sure I understand your request.

Actually there is a simple workaround.
I think step 6/7 in the lesson shows an easy way.
"answer the htmlText of line 3 of fld 1"
would work if you loaded field 1 with all the text you would need.


But that is a workaround, you can wait till ver 7.

Hm, that will surely take some months before we actually can use that version! 8)

Hi Jason,

see http://forums.runrev.com/phpBB2/viewtop ... =4&t=19658

this is the very early Developer version of Livecode 7.0, use with all precautions of using prerelease software. But that is where you can test full unicode.

I just tried

Code: Select all

on mouseUp
   put "你好!" into tTemp
   put tTemp into field 1
end mouseUp
and it worked. Since I don't know anything about non-latin languages I can't test further. But the text showed up after closing the editor and reopening it.

I also tried

Code: Select all

on mouseUp
   你
end mouseUp

on 你
   put "the command worked" into field 1
end 你
it also worked

Kind regards
Bernd
