pspad: -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- When you open file, all is encoded into UTF-16. Change of it isn't possible, at least without rewriting near whole program. --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
UTF-16 supports surrogate pairs for characters higher than U+FFFF. Windows XP can handle these two-widechar combinations, it works fine! For example: const Smile: array[0..2] of WideChar = (WideChar($D83D), WideChar($DE0A), #0); begin MessageBoxW(Application.Handle, @Smile, nil, 0); end; This code will show only one "rectangular character" because surrogate pair contains only one UTF-16 character. Unfortunately, MultiByteToWideChar function cannot decode 4-byte UTF-8 under Windows XP, this was my mistake. I will investigate more. My program uses own UTF-8 decoder, written from scratch, but a little complex for use outside of library it contains. I can write new Utf8Decode/Utf8Encode functions for PSPad, if you ready to use them. :-)) -- <http://forum.pspad.com/read.php?4,45099,64626> PSPad freeware editor http://www.pspad.com
