Problem with special characters #38
Comments
Where is this happening? In the Companion? or elsewhere. |
I couldn't test it on the companion but Matias said: |
OK. I think I know what is going on here. I have a branch where I have been working on internationalization and there are some patches there to properly escape non-ascii characters for sending to the Companion (this is done with Scheme). Sounds like I should extract those and put them in the main App Inventor code. |
OK, now I am not sure what is going on. I was unable to reproduce your issue with ai2.appinventor.mit.edu (current master branch). I was able to insert Å Ä Ö in the designer in a text box and it copied to my phone just fine. My guess is that every latin-1 character should work. I know that characters outside of latin-1 fail, that is what my patch addresses. Do you know what character codes you are using? Is it possible you are using code points outside of latin-1 that happen to render the same? |
Can you send me a sample project I can debug with? (can we attach files to GitHub comments? Otherwise just mail it to me at jis@mit.edu). Thanks. -Jeff |
I can´t send you the app with GitHub, but I´m going to send you the .apk and the .aia by email. There are some interesting things, "�" has changed... |
Fixed it. You can see the fix here: jisqyv@eb3ee6e I've submitted this for review. |
Awesome!! Thanks ;) |
The fix has been merged into our master branch. The next time we deploy to ai2.appinventor.mit.edu it will be included. |
Special characters show up as a question mark inside of a black diamond "�". Example of this characters are á, é, ñ... (spanish), å, ä, ö (swedish). This issue didn´t happen in App Inventor Classic.
