Hi, I'm trying to output accented characters from clojure. Actually, I'm trying to call setToolTipText on a JComponent with some unicode string. No problems doing so from Java, but with clojure I'm hitting a wall.
In REPL: exmentis=> "àéôö" "&→∟↔" exmentis=> \u00f4 \├┤ exmentis=> \u00c0 \├Ç Ok, so the Reader doesn't read my input correctly, right? Let's make a Java static member: class Application { public static final String abc = "àààèèè"; } (Application is loaded in REPL by being on the classpath.) exmentis=> Application/abc "├á├á├á├¿├¿├¿" exmentis=> (println Application/abc) ├á├á├á├¿├¿├¿ nil exmentis=> (. System/out println Application/abc) αααΦΦΦ nil (note the difference in output) Hmmm... not better. BTW, doing System.out.println(Application.abc) from Java outputs the correct result. To put it simply, whenever I define a unicode String in Java, I obtain the right result as long as I "stay" on the Java side. For instance (. component setToolTipText Application/abc) ;; works (. component setToolTipText "àéö") ;; doesn't work (garbled output) What am I missing? Clojure uses Java strings, right? exmentis=> (instance? String "àéè") true Why is the Reader not able to understand the string correctly then? Max P.S. I showed REPL output in this post but the way I actually do things is to load clojure scripts from Java with RT.loadResourceScript (). It doesn't work this way either. (BTW, my REPL is: java -cp %ADD_CP%;%CLOJURE_DIR%\jline-0.9.94.jar;%CLOJURE_JAR% jline.ConsoleRunner clojure.lang.Repl where ADD_CP is some additional classpaths.) --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Clojure" group.
