The graphical version does not support UTF-8

Open programandala-net opened this issue 6 years ago • 3 comments

I've been trying the latest SmallBASIC (0.12.16) on Debian (9.11) and Android (5.0.1). It is exactly what I needed for a project (a text console program): A modern BASIC easy to install on Android, and which can interpret the same source developed and tried on Debian.

But I've realized that the Android version doesn't support UTF-8 sources (multi-byte characters are displayed apart as ISO 8859-1 characters). Encoding the source in ISO 8859-1 seems to work fine, but it's not enough for this project, which is multilingual.

Is this a bug, an oversight or by design?
