Yabasic supports UTF-8 in Windows 10? #60

Closed Shekhetov closed 9 months ago

Shekhetov commented 9 months ago

Hello All!

Does Yabasic support UTF-8? I tried to create a file utf8.yab and when running the program the Russian font is not displayed correctly 🙁

DOC file created in Notepad++ and saved in the format UTF-8 without BOM
print "Hello World!!! - it works"
print "Привет Мир!!! - this does not work"
end

screen-1 screen-2 screen-3

Everything works fine in Linux

Regars, Anton Shekhetov

Well unfortunately not. The string-processing in yabasic is strictly old-school and not capable of doing utf-8. Every char needs to be represented by a single byte and it often depends on the environment, e.g. $LANG on Linux.

Making yabasic work with UTF-8 would be a daunting task, which I do not see within the next few years ...

Hi Anton, (sorry for my late reply; I do a deep dive into my mailbox not too often ...)

I also post this answer to github, so that others may see it too ...
