Re-2: Unicode Displaying in Runtime Revolution

Hi Franz,

Thank you so much for your reply.

Anyway, I tried the HTMLtext as you suggested. Still, it doesn't work. 
It dispalys a mixed up charaters as my previous trials, while, the text 
diplayed corretly in browser.

Then, I tried to import the Thai text file using put URL "file: 
/disk/folder/text.txt" into field myFld. It returns empty to the field. 
(may  be I did sth wrong here) So, I tried on the File menu -> import as 
control. The result is a mixed up characters again.

However, any further suggestions are welcome.

Regards,
Marisa
