Technical forum / UTF-8 removes Special Characters
« on: April 16, 2010, 03:48:27 PM »
Hello again my fellow wintermuters,
in what might very well be my last post here I present you the following problem:
We've used an ANSI encoded string.tab for a long time. Recently, we've updated this to an UTF-8 encoded string.tab. Ever since then, some special characters, most notably the German "ä", "ö" and "ü" cannot be displayed, not even by the System font for Game.Msg(). Switching back to the ANSI encoded .tab solves that, so this is definitely an issue with the UTF-8 encoded .tab file. I have no idea how to circumvent that.
