Hi Phil, Howard Actually, Kanji is normally read from top to bottom, right to left... but thankfully most of probably don't have to deal with it like that... :-)
Another of Devin's useful articles on Unicode is this lesson: http://lessons.runrev.com/m/4067/l/20441 The function below might be useful for you too, in converting from your source data to Revolution format unicode text: function getRevTextFromUTF8 theText return unidecode(uniencode(theText,"utf8")) end getRevTextFromUTF8 although you might be working with UTF16 in which case put "utf16" in place of "utf8". Hope some of that helps - good luck! If not, try posting a portion of your file somewhere for us to test on. cheers Alan On 06/06/2013, at 5:42 AM, use-livecode-requ...@lists.runrev.com wrote: > Using this info + LC's various unicode functions + the styledText of a > field, I was recently able to paste multi-line Arabic text correctly.

It reads left-to-right doesn't it? _______________________________________________ use-livecode mailing list use-livecode@lists.runrev.com Please visit this url to subscribe, unsubscribe and manage your subscription preferences: http://lists.runrev.com/mailman/listinfo/use-livecode
