Arabic letters not rendering in string print

[abusaidm]

Amazing work team,

I tried adding arabic letters in the string and it printed garbage. (screenshot attached)

Code block in case you want to reproduce or test for

func init {
  // oop style method call
  "hello moonbit\n".print()
  "مرحبا moonbit".print()
}

output should look like the input in terms of drawing :)

Thanks for your feedback, Moonbit currently supports Latin-1, CJK characters, Basic emoji. We will support more character sets in the future.

This is about string printing, not identifiers. We may need to modify the runtime. cc @lijunchen

It seems that all Unicode character (non-ASCII) print error.

func init {
  "test 666 测试".print();
}

This can reproduce here https://try.moonbitlang.com/

There are still some issues but basic printing should work now

Thank you, it works !

The current implementation decode utf-8 bytes (of whole line) at LF (\n) char. So you should print \n (or use println()) for it to work.
