Hi!
I have a question:How can I use Chinese in a script? Chinese always appears to be squares in the script window. When I clicked on "save", it always says "

**,**):Error

yntax error".
TIA~

I don't think you can, yet. I think you are limited to ASCII7 characters in scripts for now, even in string literals. I tried to make a string containing the copyright symbol (C) and it simply wouldn't compile. It would ignore the closing quotation mark. I took out the (C) symbol it compiled fine.

Hmm, there's nothing really helpful there, but thanks for pasting.

I heard that I can encode Chinese using base64 and use llBase64ToString in SL to decode the base64 string. Is that possible? If it's possible, can you give me a website that can encode Chinese online. Thanks~

Oh...thats a neat idea (and it might solve my (C) problem). Alas, I do not know of an online Chinese to Base64 converter.

I've found a ASP script which can be used to encode base64, but when I use it in SL, it seems to be some question marks. Why?
