virhonestum Posted April 9, 2015 Share Posted April 9, 2015 I want to have the Square Root (√) and an Arrow (←) character in a label. But when I copy and paste them from the Windows Character Map, the arrow turns into a question mark and the square root into a 'v'. How can I have those special characters in labels / buttons / anywhere in AutoIt? Thank you very much Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zobengrauzis Posted April 9, 2015 Share Posted April 9, 2015 Hi! u will need to look in setfont() and chr() aint ure simbol, but just for example how i usually do $ROUNDARROWRIGHT = CHR(220) $wdayrightbutton = GUICtrlCreateLabel($ROUNDARROWRIGHT, 10, 10, 180, 180) GUICtrlSetFont($wdayrightbutton,21,400,1,"Wingdings") Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Solution jchd Posted April 9, 2015 Solution Share Posted April 9, 2015 Switch the Scite source to UTF8 mode: File >> Encoding >> UTF8 + BOM (or UTF8).

You need a recent Scite4AutoIt3 to get most benefits of accompanying tools. Im not sure how to write the characters in UTF8 encoding. Other special characters in my code changed to text in a red box (For example ± changed to xB1 as white text in a red box ) When I just use the character "√" it displays as "√" () Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
virhonestum Posted April 9, 2015 Author Share Posted April 9, 2015 Nvermind, I changed it to UTF8, not to UTF8+BOM, so it works now! Thank you very much! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
