unicodeLabel not displaying unicode glyph?

Hi all,
not sure if this is correct...
if i have a field "test" and a button "test"
Code: Select all
put numToCodePoint("0x1F4BE") into field "test"
produces
- field.png (1.74 KiB) Viewed 2902 times
I assumed it would be the same for labels but it seems not...
Code: Select all
set the unicodeLabel of button "test" to numToCodePoint("0x1F4BE")
does nothing... the same seems to apply to any control with a 'label' property, such as graphics...
Am i misunderstanding the dictionary? Is this expected behaviour?
Many thanks
Stam

Code: Select all
set the label of button "test" to numToCodePoint(0x1F4BE)
works.

I don't know who or what told you to put quotation marks
around the Hexadecimal Unicode Glyph Address.

Yep - assigning the label instead of the unicodeLabel did it, thank you Richmond.
What is the point of the unicodeLabel then?
I had initially tried set the unicodeLabel of button "test" to "0x1F4BE", but that didn't work either...

Dunno: probably much the same as the tail I had when I was a 5 month embryo
in my mother's womb.

Ahhhhh I missed the deprecation - thanks for pointing that out… I only came across unicodeLabel when googling “how to” and the wiki showed this - but the deprecation wasn’t clear…
Anyway, learn something new every day….

I don't just know who writes the LiveCode wiki, but is a bit patchy, so, while I use it I then generally check waht it says in the LC Dictionary.
