Hello,
In fact, 'string ..." are numbers of unicode code, not utf8 (see text3d help file)
I see.
So you need to convert utf8 to unicode. You are lucky, because there is an abstraction from IOhannes m zmölnig & Maira Sala that do the job for you, it is attached.
Thanks. Exactly what I need, then.
I see the advantage of using unicode numbers instead of utf-8 bytes in that it is a bit easier to count the number of characters. It's just a bit unlucky that [binfile] outputs bytes, [list fromsymbol] outputs bytes, [list tosymbol] expects bytes. Ok, the 'string' method is probably older, but it looks like utf-8 is more common.
