floating text with accents

hello!

i'm using the "llSetText" command to make floating texts; but i'm writing texts in french and spanish, so i need accentuations.
the command "llSetText" does not accept, for example "mangé", so i have to write "mange", without any accent.
Is there a way to accentuate word with that command?

thanks!

Write your accented characters using UTF-8 in the code, then use llUnescapeURL to get the proper string. You can use the java applet at the bottom of this page to encode the text. (Select UTF-8 in the Character Encoding: box) Your example becomes "mang%C3%A9"

That's hysterical, Deann! No, I believe you, and it's a great workaround.

It's just hysterical that the people who set all this up in the first place in California didn't realize there were languages in the world other than English -- so that SL can't natively handle basic accents in French, German, Italian, Spanish, etc. I mean, it's just so *basic*.

SL handles them just fine. (The group tag I most commonly wear in-world is ÜmÏäüt-Äbüsër) The only problem is that the LSL compiler doesn't recognize unicode characters when entered directly into a script.

It also doesn't recognize them when a script reads them from a notecard.
You still need to use the above unescape method.

It's a reported bug of the Windows client.
LSL scripts created on Mac with non-ASCII characters won't compile in Windows viewer
