TuiTerminal.WriteText

Adds a string to the output buffer as UTF-8.

Syntax

TuiTerminal.WriteText( byref u as ustring ) as TuiUnitResult

Description

Appends a ustring, encoded as UTF-8. On Windows this is why Enter sets the console output code page to 65001 -- without that the console would decode these bytes in code page 437 and every non-ASCII glyph would arrive as mojibake.

Example

#import "std/tui"
using tui

dim as TuiTerminal term
term.WriteText( "CJK: " & wchr( &h4E2D ) )
print term.Pending( ) > 0          '' -1 (true)
