[Feature Request] [BUILD 8860] Adding support for non-ASCII characters

[mathieu12]

Hi :)

I'm currently making a mod for Portal 2 and also the differents translations as well. But Hammer++ (and the classic Hammer) doesn't support non-ASCII characters. For instance, when you put a russian text into a game_text entity, it shows: ?????????????

In order to bypass that, I'm using a hexadecimal editor to edit the bsp and add my translated texts but having Hammer++ being able to support these non-ASCII characters would be so cooool!

Is it feasible?

Thanks in advance.

Use localization files, such characters will most likely break the structure of the VMF file (mentioned very often on the valve dev wiki) and you will completely lose the source.
