:D Windows is particularly different than other platforms. In *nixes most APIs require a char* with the encoded bytes, which we can encode in Pharo doing something like ‘my string’ utf8Encoded => a byte array with the encoded string But for windows, I think the best is to use their encoding APIs. You’ll find the image already has some support for that, that we use to access environment variables and the working directory string. Check the class Win32WideString and its class comment ;) > > Best wishes, > Tomaz
