Thread: Console output differs from instruction

  1. #1

    Exclamation Console output differs from instruction

    Please, can someone confirm ?

    uses "console"
    
    printl Console_GetCP ' Outputs 850
    printl " °C " ' Outputs  ┬░C 
    
    WaitKey

    Font is "Consolas" and has support for the characters needed.
    Changing font to "Deja vu" doesn't solve the issue.
    Changing codePage to 1252 or 65001 doesn't solve the issue.

    Hi DirectuX,

    the issue is in fact thinBASIC strings are now UTF8 encoded.

    You can workaround it like:
    uses "console"
     
    printl Console_getCP ' Outputs 850
    printl " " + chr$(248) + "C "
     
    WaitKey
    
    There is yet a mountain of work to make UTF8 work across various corners of thinBASIC.

    Forcing output code page to UTF8 can help.
    Put the following at the beginning of the script

    Console_SetOutputCP(%CP_UTF8)

    Thanks Eros, it didn't work first because I was using Console_SetCP function instead.

    Note: %CP_ built-in constants are not listed in the help file.
