Description

When users send non-english characters ( ex. Cyrillic letters ) the device display does not show them. Tested with T-Beam supreme / Heltec v3. Is it possible to have UTF-8 encoding for the screens? The iOS/Android app displays properly the characters.

I remember someone added support for Ukrainian at some point. I think you have to build the firmware yourself, adding an extra line of code to enable it:

Edit: looks like there are both options for OLED_UA and OLED_RU. Hopefully one of those fonts is suitable for your own language!

@todd-herbert is correct. You will have to compile your with the font macro
