Unicode doesn't cover whole unicode character set?

[2xD]

Hello!

I have 2 edit boxes and a button. The button press just copies the entry from the first edit box into the second. Now put your end-user language to japanese and put a japanese character into the first box, press the button. You will see the japanese character displaying right. Now lets put another character from some different language set, for example, russian, will also display all right. Now put a german ä into the first box, but, somehow, now the output will be a simple a; same with ö, ü. But everything goes right again by putting the end-user language to german, but then, no russian or japanese characters will work anymore, the output is somewhat like "????". My character encoding options are Input ANSI (would like to put Unicode here, but it's not available), Output Unicode.

Maybe I don't understand how it does work correctly?

Thanks,

2xD.

The Input / Output options are for text files, when you import/export a text file from an edit box for example.

Could you attach an example and describe the exact steps to reproduce the problem with this example?

Oh, I see it was a problem with String Parser, which didn't transfer all chracters correctly.
But how to fix it?

2xD, the only way to fix it is get a Unicode-supporting version of String Parser. Right now there's just the ANSI version, so there is a good chance data will be lost in translation.

Depending on what you need out of String Parser, I can suggest other extensions that support Unicode. Or you can use my ext list below, and turn on the Unicode compatibility filter to see all compatible ones.
