UTF-8

[Mark Schonewille]

Hi Ray,

Yes. To display UTF8, you need to convert it to UTF16 before setting the unicodeText of a field. You can also convert the unicodeText of a field to UTF8 before writing it to a file. The functions are

-- convert from UTF8 to UTF16
uniEncode(myUTF8,"UTF8")

-- convert from UTF16 to UTF8
uniDecode(myUTF16,"UTF8")

To convert from plain text to UTF8 you can do this:

uniDecode(uniEncode(myEnglish,"ANSI"),"UTF8")
