i receive data by OSC ... but we find a solution: python encode text on ASCII before send to PD (text2D/text3D in gem). Now, i think that is good ! But if you have any informations about text encodage in PD, i would like to know why i can't receive special charaters in a SYMBOL when it receives by OSC !

If not, how would make you to pass a character string from symbol to a message ?

Gem's [text3d] (and [text2d], but why would you want to use that?) has another possibility to get the text: use a message "string <char1> <char2> <char3> ..." where <char#> is a numeric representation of the character.

e.g. "string 123 64 125" will display "{@}" (123 being the ASCII-code for '{',...)

the fun-part comes now: "string 232 673 294" (232 being the unicode for 'é', ...)

of course, the font you use has to support these characters (vera.ttf (that comes with Gem) does not have characters 294 or 673 (the latter being from the IPA-section of unicode that is contained in few fonts))

it should be pretty easy to send the numeric values from python instead of characters/symbols)
