utf-8 not working????
« on: November 19, 2018, 10:10:14 am »
Hello, folks!
I have a problem with the Codeblocks. When I want to write the "Δ" it shows me a square.

Have you checked the Editor settings? I don't think we enable UTF-8 by default on Windows, I guess we use your systems default.
What is the selected encoding for the file you're editing (edit->file encoding)?

Does the used font supports this symbol?

Is selected UTF-8.

You right! Thank you!

But when I compile it shows me "╬ö" instead of "Δ", why?

Where does it show it? Do you use the same font in the two places? Have you told the compiler that your source files are in a specific encoding. If you want to enter specific characters it is probably most reliable if you enter unicode values directly using \x, \u, \U or something similar.

I'm not expert, you'll have to search for more information how to solve your problem...

How can I use the same font in console ? How I tell to the compiler ? \x, \u, \U not working...

I think you have not changed the font in the console...

You also did not saved your document in UTF-8, as described in the error message on the right bottom.
Save the file as UTF-8 with Edit->File encoding->UTF-8
