Hi Curt,
Before struggling with unicode, you have to build right html first:
You set the htmlText of your field to a string which is not html but
in fact usual text.
For instance, tab in html is "	" and "tab" in html is only a text
string...
In order to understand how translation can be made between html and
usual text, you might be interested by downloading my Encoded Text
Picker free plugin from my web-site (address below).
It will allow you to translate any text from and to html
automatically and then understand how to build your code properly :-)
Take heart!
Best Regards from Paris,
Eric Chatonet.

As a newbie I'm getting gray hairs trying to build a scrolling text
field that will display both English and Russian. (The code already
works well for English & other languages in the Latin alphabet,
including accents, umlauts, etc.). Simplifying a little, I have:
repeat with i = 1 to gHowManyItems
[some code to get the first item]
put [first item] after gWordList
[more code for 2nd item]
put tab & [2nd item] after gWordList
[some code to get the 3rd item]
put return & [3rd item] after gWordList
[some code to get the 4th item]
put tab & [4th item] after gWordList
end repeat
set the HTMLText of field "list field" to gWordList
When the first item is in Russian it shows up fine, but the
following English word displays as Chinese characters.
When experimenting, I tried adding
put "test some English at beginning" && return before gWordList
put return & "test some English at end" after gWordList
..after building the list but before setting the HTMLText of the
field.
The English text added before gWordList displayed fine; the Russian
elements in gWordList displayed fine; but the English text added
after gWordList was gibberish. It seems that once an element in
Russian has been added, it doesn't want to go back to an encoding
that works with English - ?
I've been able to copy mixed-language text from one field to
another when I'd entered the text in Revolution (using HTMLText),
but when I try to create something that fills fields dynamically
from variables, I can't get it to work right.
Is there something that prevents mixing languages in a field? Am I
missing something obvious? Are there any sample files out there
that demonstrate using different languages in a field using HTMLText?
Thanks for any suggestions!
