Title: utf-8 not working????
Post by: nykS 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.

What is the selected encoding for the file you're editing (edit->file encoding)?

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...

Post by: BlueHazzard on November 21, 2018, 10:54:27 am: 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
