Ola Hernan,
Well I guess it's "ola". Yes English is my mother language but my father
language, I mean my other language isn't Spanish or Portuguese, it is
Cantonese.

You aren't alone. Lots of people have that issue. I find all problems such as
these due to faulty code pages, incorrect code pages, default assumptions of
software, etc. Unicode could solve all those issues and more, more
specifically UTF-8 can.
Reading your answer I conclude that you --seems your language is English-- had
no get troubles with non-printable (graphical, outside languages) characters
(or you found the solution since a long time ago, and now --possibly-- your
mind forgot that thing.....).... and my pont is about this: could you share
the solution for not getting in trouble with vowels with tilde?.
I have no experience with that issue so I could only guess, and I'm not a good
guesser. Do you still want to hear my guess? Okay, but don't say I didn't warn
you : my guess is that "Language support" in software is determined mainly by
a bunch of racists in a board room. So guess which language(s) will get the
most support?
My personal problem has been finding good Chinese language support but nobody
in my country cares about or likes Chinese, and my country is where most
software comes from (unless you count outsourced code from India). I watched
how Chinese entered or wrote Chinese pictographs and I know what they want and
need, but you just don't see it in any American products that claim they are
multinational and ... wait a minute! Did I just gave away what country I'm
from? Oops!
If you cannot, no problem (it is only that I have lived together with this for
the last three decades --one decade is ten years, right?--
Right.
My operating system has only been Windows. My programming language is
different from C/C++/C#, but from M$.
Me too.
I send you an image for showing you that I only see the same image for the
"special" characters you refer: a rectangle cutted by an vertical line; the
same for the five. This way is how it can be seen in this web navigator
(Chrome).
That "rectangle cutted by an vertical line" is the Chinese character for
"middle".
Regards,
Andrew
PS -- I am sorry if I don't write in simpler English. Using fancy English
words can save a lot of typing time sometimes.
