UTF-8 GUI text is not scriptable

[Gskartwii]

game.StarterGui.ScreenGui.TextLabel.Text = "hukkapätkä!";

displays "hukkap" when game.StarterGui.ScreenGui.TextLabel is a TextLabel or TextButton. Happens with both the command bar and scripts. In the patch where UTF-8 was first enabled, non-ASCII characters would be ignored. In the newest one they cut off the rest of the string. Entering the string through Studio's Properties window works.

It's because ROBLOX dosen't like ASCII characters as they can get past their filter. For example, if I were to type ASCII into the web chat, it would give me an "Error" in red text. In game it either replaces it with ?'s or gets rid of it.

Why is UTF-8 allowed on GUIs at all then?

You can get past the filter by creating your own font rendering system anyway.

This has now been fixed. The following code will work as expected:

script.Parent.Text = string.char(0xC3, 0xA5);
