Yes, that works. Also using upper plane characters that I can actually see as
proper looking characters on the table in Firefox, I can put them into my own
html doc as utf8 and see them equally well. They look like box characters in
unicode.messagebox or IE. I suppose this is a font or font script issue.
e.g.: (with a recent Powerpro test ver)
local str="2F862" ;;a CJK Compatibility Ideograph
local instr="\xf0\xaf\xa1\xa2"
;teststr(str, instr)
str ++=" and 10401" ;;DESERET CAPITAL LETTER LONG E
instr ++="\xf0\x90\x90\x81"
teststr(str, instr)
quit
Function TestStr(str, instr)
local outstr=unicode.from_utf8(instr)
if (outstr.to_utf8 !== instr) do
unicode.messagebox("OK", str++" versions not equal")
else
local var=???xend
