Having forgotten all I ever knew about Unicode (it wasn't much), I am trying to understand Unicode in LC, and although I have heard about "just works" I am not sure how to proceed. For example, the code for pi (Greek letter, lower case) is apparently (via internet sources)
U+03C0 it also seems to be encoded as 960, but that's in HTML. Suppose I want to display pi in a field, "glyphPi". What does the script look like? I've tried: set the unicodeText of fld "glyphPi" to "03C0" and: set the unicodeText of fld "glyphPi" to "#03C0;" and: set the unicodeText of fld "glyphPi" to "U+03C0" oddly enough, all these appear to be legal, and all produce glyphs (some look like Kanji), but none of them are the symbol pi. Is this just a syntactical problem, or have I misunderstood the whole process? And when I do get it right, can I copy this field to the clipboard and paste it into another field which will then be visible to a user in the same form? Early experiments suggest I can't, but it could just be the usual finger trouble. TIA for any clarification Graham _______________________________________________ use-livecode mailing list use-livecode@lists.runrev.com Please visit this url to subscribe, unsubscribe and manage your subscription preferences: http://lists.runrev.com/mailman/listinfo/use-livecode
