Just tried that by running up a stack on Mac:
worked on Mac,
didn't on Ubuntu 8.04 sorry!

Hi all,
any hint on how to handle crossplatform EURO signs?
I mean the euro sign is unfortunately NOT translated
isotomac/mactoiso, so how do you handle user input of this
(and other) character(s) in your crossplatform apps/stacks/databases?
Not to mention of ERUO signs in label fields, when you do not
want to loop over all fields and place the appropriate signs
on "pre-/openstack".
Any hints heavily appreciated, inm the meantime we use "EUR" ;-)
Hi Klaus,
HTMLtext is no good, because the ¤ entity, while Rev correctly
renders it as a Euro sign on the Mac, on Windows it produces a generic
currency sign.
That leaves us with unicode. The code point for the Euro sign is hex
0x20AC, which is decimal 8364. Usually you get reliable results by
using unicode escape entities in htmlText, but again htmlText fails
us, because this doesn't work:
set the htmlText of fld 1 to "<p>€"
The only reliable way I can see is UTF-8. On my Mac the UTF-8 ASCII
equivalent string is €. But that's different on Windows, so I looked
at the ASCII code points for the three characters. They are 226 130
172. So I tried the following and it reliably rendered the Euro sign
on both Mac and Windows (no Linux here for me to try, but it should
work there, too.)
set the unicodeText of fld "euro" to \
uniencode((numToChar(226) & numToChar(130) & numToChar(172)),"utf8")
That ought to work for you.

Devin
