Topic: Send unicode character in chat

hello
i have problem with sending unicode characters in both sides client and server
i got ? mark instead the real character!

for example
GameServer()->SendChatTarget(m_pPlayer->GetCID(),"Test \u014C");

with \u i able to send just standard alphanumeric chars a-z A-Z 1-9 and some sign such az @#$%

i inserted the unicode character in the cpp file but i got same result!!!

Re: Send unicode character in chat

I test with..

GameServer()->SendChatTarget(-1, "B. Mírañ $%&/!! ^# -- \u014C");

and works.

My .cpp file have a UTF-8 codification

Try octal code: "Test \305\214".

Re: Send unicode character in chat

If your compiler supports the 2011 C++ standard, you can also try: u8"Test ΣΩ \u014C". With normal "" strings, the compiler can use any encoding it chooses, but with u8 prefix of the 2011 C++ standard it's guaranteed to use UTF-8.

P.S. If that doesn't work, here's a text to octal converter: http://www.unit-conversion.info/texttools/octal/. Just write out all the numbers you get like this, without spaces: "ΣΩ" (original) -> 316 243 342 204 246 (converter output) -> "\316\243\342\204\246" (C++ string). Or use Linux character map: http://i.solidfiles.net/b64e379dfe.png

babak2010, don't need nothing special... install MinGW (http://sourceforge.net/projects/mingw/files/) and use bam without init visual envirionment (@%comspec% /k ""C:\Program Files (x86)\Microsoft Visual Studio 10.0\VC\vcvarsall.bat"" x86)

I made a video to explain how to setup code::blocks: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MSgGHUKnTZM
