There's nothing inherent about Poky / OpenEmbedded that means it doesn't support Unicode. Individual pieces of software might have difficulties however. I just copied over a text file containing "Schrödinger's 😻" (i.e. one German character and one special one) in UTF-8 to a core-image-sato image. The file doesn't display properly in the matchbox-terminal application (displaying garbage, indicating the encoding is incorrect), however in Notes (leafpad) it displays the ö but not the 😻 (displaying a single box with hex code instead, indicating that the font is missing that special character). FYI I read this article recently and found it very useful - you may already know some or all of this, but just in case: http://www.joelonsoftware.com/articles/Unicode.html Cheers, Paul PS please keep the discussion on the mailing list, thanks. -- Paul Eggleton Intel Open Source Technology Centre _______________________________________________ yocto mailing list yocto@yoctoproject.org https://lists.yoctoproject.org/listinfo/yocto
