Accessing Unicode Codepoints

[MadMartin]

Hi there,

today I decided to fiddle around with Unicode and to try out if I'm able to bring some cyrillic oder japanese glyphs on the screen.

Tried the following:

Code: [Select]


sf::String UnicodeString;
std::wstring sfmlrocks(L"SFML ROCKS with \u0426!"); // the u0426 should be the cyrillic letter Tse...
UnicodeString.SetText(sfmlrocks);

The font I used with "UnicodeString" knows this letter Tse, proofed in the Windows app "charmap.exe". But when I draw the string, nothing appears, only an additional space before the "!". Has anyone got some hints what to do now?


greets
Martin

PS:
It's a VS2005-Project with Unicode enabled...

You need to pass it in the font's character set (3rd parameter of sf::Font::LoadFromFile). The default charset is only made of printable ISO-8859-1 characters.

By the way, while this should work fine, I'm currently rewriting and improving unicode handling so if you see some "bad" code or design don't worry, everything will be clean and 100% working soon.

Ah, for sure, that's what I missed. Thanks for the hint.
I'm looking forward to see your improvements on the unicode topic :wink:
