Hi all
How can the unicode text be posted on the website such as Twitter? alphabets can be posted as I expected but I had no luck with Korean or Japanese text. I am using LC 7 and my code is here,
Code: Select all
on mouseUp
put field "koreanText" into pBody
launch url "http://www.twitter.com/intent/tweet?text=" & urlEncode(pBody)
end mouseUp
Any good suggestions will be very appreciated.
Thanks for your time!
Louis

I've never tried it; but how about using "set the htmlText"?

set the htmltext is not working.. I tried with
Code: Select all
put unicode field "koreanText" into pBody
launch url "http://www.twitter.com/intent/tweet?text=" & urlEncode(pBody)
but the result still shows "??????" on the webpage. is there any possible way to post foreign languages via the url launch command?

I thought I'd "fool about with this" a bit . . .

This is my stack containing some false Korean text (i.e. a series of random Korean characters).
I just had a go with this:
Code: Select all
on mouseUp
put the unicodeText of field "koreanText" into pBody
launch url "http://www.twitter.com/intent/tweet?text=" & urlEncode(pBody)
end mouseUp
And got this:
- Ktext2.png (5.33 KiB) Viewed 5996 times
Which looks like the text has been changed from double-byte chars into single-byte ones . . .

Oddly enough this:
Code: Select all
on mouseUp
put the unicodeText of field "koreanText" into pBody
launch url "http://www.twitter.com/intent/tweet?text=" & pBody
end mouseUp
Produces just the same result, so, in this situation the "urlEncode" is redundant.

As Livecode does everything in UTF-16 this is probably
where the problem lies.

Code: Select all
on mouseUp
put textEncode(field "koreanText","UTF-8") into pBody
launch url "http://www.twitter.com/intent/tweet?text=" & pBody
end mouseUp
Produces this:
