you need to convert the unicode codepoint to utf8. for the unicodepoint 8983, the utf-8 sequence is "232 166 131". feeding this sequence to [list tosymbol] will give you "覃" (which is think is what you want)
wow, thanks, that's great news !
still, that's not the desired symbol, i think there's been a decimal/hexadecimal mismatch of the unicode code point ...
anyway, the right utf-8 sequence for "VIEWDATA SQUARE" would be "226 140 151", see attached patch.
i'm honestly baffled by this discussion. afaik we have a working unicode implementation in Pd for more than 10 years. what's the buzz, tell me what's a-happening...
(... whyyyyy wouuuuld youuuuu want to know ... ;-))
it's the difference between the representation of the sharp symbol in symbol canvas vs. GUI canvas, where the sharp symbol is printed as a dollar sign.
attached is example image and patch, plus utf-8 solution !
