what unicode encoding exactly

[uneven sky]

utf8 persian characters

[brittle swift]

windows unicode APIs expect UTF-16, so you'd have to convert it first

[uneven sky]

do you want me to convert unicode to utf16 so that it will be readable on edot box?

[brittle swift]

yeah

[uneven sky]

okay i will try

thank you

@uneven sky Has your question been resolved? If so, run !solved :)

there's also the possibility of enabling UTF-8 support for the WhateverA windows functions

[uneven sky]

fixed!

for guys who wonder how to convert, check this out:

std::wstring wBuffer = L"hello";
std::string str;
std::wstring_convert<std::codecvt_utf16<wchar_t>> converter;
str = converter.to_bytes(wBuffer);
