What the link above was supposed to teach you is that we need more information:
- a description of the problem (what happens?)
- the version of SFML that you use
- the relevant part of your code

[Laurent]

Try this:

Txt.setString(L"ABC ÄÖÜ äöü ß");

And please use the "code=cpp" tag in your posts to have syntax highlighting

[Laurent]

I already use 'code=cpp'

Hmm, so why do I have to edit all your posts to add it?

[Laurent]

L"..." will produce a wide string (made of wchar_t characters), so if you want to store it before passing it to sf::Text, you must put it in a std::wstring. Or a sf::String.

Getting non-ASCII characters correctly displayed on screen can be very tricky, especially for string literals. Multiple encodings are involved, and it's very hard to control the complete chain for non-experienced users.

The problem here is probably that the compiler doesn't like your source file encoding. Is it UTF-8? latin-1? something else?
