First of all hello! I’m new to the forum, but I’ve been messing with CS for a while now. For most projects I don’t have any need for special characters, but in a recent one I’ve been needing to use characters like é and à and so on. They show up fine in all the text editors I used (Notepad++ and textpad), and they do show up in my browser (I have it set on Unicode). Every time I go to test my game though, they are replaced by an error character. I saw someone else had this problem and tried the solution presented in that thread, with no luck, though I probably did just do it wrong. So does anyone know how to do it, or at least what would be causing it to not work? Thanks. --- _[View the full topic](https://forum.choiceofgames.com/t/using-non-standard-characters/1294)._
