I need help. In more ways than one, but that's beside the point...
I have a utf-8 encoded xml file that I'm reading data from for display in a
text field. Everything seems to work just fine except for certain unicode
characters, such as the em dash ("—"). When I read in the text and then set the
htmlText property of the field, those characters are getting garbled. Am I just
not understanding how unicode works? Do I need to do something special to make
these characters appear correctly?
What's strange is I can get that same character by using numToChar(209) in the
LiveCode message box, but the character that is in my file does not seem to be
the same one, even though on screen it looks identical. If I test it with
something like:
if numToChar(209) is in myText then
it returns false. I'm stumped.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks,
Chris
