Re: [PD] unicode symbols and Pd

17 Jan 2021


      Here is what I'm talking about concerning displaying note names with [canvas].
I have the same text going first to an LCD display (which works fine) and then to the HDMI screen by using [canvas].
I'm talking about the C# (bottom right - circled in red):
The canvas cannot display #. It shows $ instead.

Yes, of course it all works fine with [print] !
...
That's what I said.
...
...
What does not work is sending it to a canvas.
...
That's what I need!

Thanks,

I had tried [35( with [makefilename %c] before. Needed a [symbol]
...
...
...
before sending, though.
...
...

When I print (in parallel)  to the console I get C#, when I send to
...
...
...
the canvas I get C$ on the canvas.
...
...
...
...
...
...
It has been annoying me for years.
...
...
...
...
...

I don't know if it is a bug in canvas or something that's done on purpose.
...
...
...
And if it is on purpose how I could make it work?
...
...
...
...
...
...
I tried C # or C# but still get C$.
...
...
...
I can't be the only one having this issue.
...
...
...
How does anyone else do this?

Hi Ingo,
...
...
I'm a newbie to Pd, using purr-data on Linux. I put together a patch:
...
...
...
...
[35(
...
...
|
...
...
[makefilename C%c]
...
...
|
...
...
[symbol\
...
...
|
...
...
[print C-sharp]
...
...
...
...
and it seems to work OK for me.
...
...
See attached screen-shot.
...
...
(slight difference, I connected the symbol box in parallel, rather
...
...
than series but I don't see that matters. I haven't worked out how to
...
...
show that using
...
...
Ascii-art.)
...
...
...
