mis009 mis009 Fresh Scripter Registered: 2007-03-02 Posts: 9 Loc: Ohio, USA	anybody have any idea how to use non-latin alphabet charactors in a string, such as the Czechan 4th letter that is represented by a C with a caron (C-Caron). I also need to use various other Czechan letters. I have tried to copy and paste it to a string and it automatically changes to a "?". I cannot find a char code to represent it but I can find the Unicode. I know I can use Jpgs to show pictures of the text I want to show, but thats just not Right Edited by mis009 (2007-12-04 09:23 PM) Edit Reason: spelling

For example Chr(0233) will give you the é character just like ALT 0233 does. It does not work for all special characters. ALT 137 gives ë but Chr(137) gives %. ALT 268 should give an uppercase Č and ALT 269 should give a lowercase č. It works fine for me in Word but not in Excel, Notepad and a console window (gives me a music note and a female symbol). I'm not sure but I guess this also depends on your regional settings.

mis009 mis009 Fresh Scripter Registered: 2007-03-02 Posts: 9 Loc: Ohio, USA	Still cannot get this to work! I have run a script that will give me all the chr(x) codes. and cannot find the result for the characters I am trying to display in the variable. Is there anyone out there using Kixtart for Czech or other languages? These are the characters I am trying to display: ί č ě Does anyone know how to display them? Kixtart just changes them to a "?" Fyi.. The words being used are: Pracovnί stanice Jměno uživatele Uživatelský účet Operační systém

Hopefully someone with actual experience in this area will respond to the post. You might also want to send an e-mail to the author to get his response on this subject.

Richard H. Richard H. Administrator Registered: 2000-01-24 Posts: 4946 Loc: Leatherhead, Surrey, UK	Agreed, KiXtart only really supports extended ASCII / single-byte characters. It has partial support for multi-byte characters, but there is not really any practical way to use it. You may be able to change your "code page" to display the characters in the correct form on a console, but that is basically just a typeface change - the underlying characters are still the same. You can create unicode output streams using FSO, but they are a bugger to manage. What exactly do you need to generate the Czech text for?
