Hi Peter,

Thanks for the tip. However, it didn't seem to do anything for me. According to the trick Alex told me about getting the server version, the On-rev account I'm using has livecode-server-6.6.2 installed.

FWIW, Kojima-san's tip worked great; it's in another post in this thread.

Appreciate everyone's help with this!

Hi Tim,

I think that if you put a comment like:

    -- encoding: utf8

in the first line of the .lc file (or the second line if you have a shebang), the server engine will treat the .lc file as UTF-8 text rather than native text.

On the other hand, that solution might not work except in LiveCode 6.7 or later. I'm not sure!

                                   Peter
