Re: Problems with UTF8

2008-03-01 Thread Mark Smith 
Damien, if I understand things correctly, you shouldn't have any  
issues with endianness when working with UTF8.


Endianness will only affect you when you deal with unicode (UTF16)  
from outside your system, because it could be UTF16BE or UTF16LE, and  
as far as I can tell, Rev always treats unicode strings as having the  
endianness of the the system it's running on, so it may be necessary  
to swap the pairs of bytes.


 Best,

Mark

I will investigate further in order to solve the endianess issues.  
(but it is a bit hard to do some test without a PowerPC computer).

It is a Runrev bug ? or maybe I did something wrong ?


Hi Damien,

Are you sure the accented characters are disappearing or do they just 
appear as junk in the rev message box (or field)? I ask because once 
you encode to UTF8 you can't necessarily display the text in Rev 
accurately. What happens if you first encode the text as UTF8 and then 
decode to UTF16 and assign it to the unicodeText property of a field?


put unidecode(uniencode("eéàèe"),UTF8) into theUTF8Text
set the unicodeText of field 1 to uniencode(theUTF8Text, "UTF8")

Do the characters look right then?
