Yes this works because we have
lua_str="\195\160" UTF8 code for à
but I would like to open a plain ASCii file in which à is coded as 0xE0 in my
locale
and then
wx_str = wx.wxString(lua_str, wxFONTENCODING_ISO8859_1) (or something similar)
to get it converted to UNICODE

Just would like to show áéíóú
Ahh, ok. Below is a list of the UTF8 chars to use.
http://www.utf8-chartable.de/
I ran this in wxLuaEdit and both wxMessageBoxes showed the char à I copied
and pasted from the site above.
------------------------
lua_str="à"
print (string.len(lua_str))
wx.wxMessageBox(lua_str)
wx_str = wx.wxString(lua_str)
print (wx_str:Len())
wx.wxMessageBox(wx_str)
------------------------
output:
Running lua script 'untitled.lua*' : Thu Mar 5 13:02:55 2015
2 -- note 2 byte utf8 char
1 -- wx knows that this is just a single two-byte utf8 char
-----------------------
Does this not work for you?
Regards,
John
