Thanks, It helped! There must be some weird conversion malfunctions on the way.
int int_c = 0x00f6; char char_c = Convert.ToChar(int_c); //this shows fine Gtk.ToolButton TestToolButton = new ToolButton(Im, "" + char_c); //this does not string ReadFromUTF8EncodedXmlFile ... Gtk.ToolButton TestToolButton = new ToolButton(Im, ReadFromUTF8EncodedXmlFile); //nor does this string TestString = "รถ"; Gtk.ToolButton TestToolButton = new ToolButton(Im, TestString); Dr. McArrow wrote: > hi! > try this > int int_c = 0x00f6; > char char_c = Convert.ToChar(c); > Console.WriteLine(char_c); _______________________________________________ Gtk-sharp-list maillist - Gtk-sharp-list@lists.ximian.com http://lists.ximian.com/mailman/listinfo/gtk-sharp-list
