I've been testing my new toy with every large and small text I can put my hands on. The fact is, I have had surprise after surprise. I've just found that when I read a text that contains "À" (that's an A with a grave accent (`A) -- or a backward acute accent for those who are not familiar with diacritics).
Well, I can't display it if I load it into a TextArea.text. Nothing shows. I mean, NOTHING. That is, I have a blank screen. If I bring it to lowercase (à or `a) it will show up (in lowercase) with the rest of the text. So, "`A" (coded as "\xC3\x80") will prevent the displaying of any string. Nevertheless, if I just try to display "Some text plus À and some text more" it will work. Now, if I take the original text and do: * RawText = RegExp.Replace(RawText, "À", "à")* yep! it does work. But if I translate it back with * RawText = RegExp.Replace(RawText, "à", "À")* It does not work anymore. But if I do *RawText = RawText & "À"* And RawText did not contain "À" before, then it will be displayed. Amazing. Any ideas about why this happens?
