LiveCode Forums.

Hello Dear LiveCoders,

I've developed 17 apps with LiveCode and the unicode has been always an issue.
I wonder why runRev doesn't bring a total solution for this.
There are so many developers around there whose native language is not english,
thus developing localized apps via LiveCode.
Isn't this a pre-historic issue, I mean which modern development platform doesn't support utf-8 natively?
Which one does need continuous conversions?

I could solve all the unicode related problems in my iOS apps,
but at my current project I'm stuck.
This is not a windows-specific problem, yet I'm posting here because my app is for windows.

I have multiple option menu buttons which consist different categories.
One should add or remove categories selecting the appropriate item in the button.
Here is a sample stack: It works fine with english but when I tried to enter non-ascii chars like "ç,ş,ğ,ı,ö,ü";
it got all messed up.
And I couldn't figure out how

Any help much appreciated, thank you...

Solved by Mark Schonewille.
The problem was in the native Ask Dialogue.
I've made my own dialogue window and retrieved the input of user.
It works fine now.
