How to load Greek letter from XML

humorstar · Post by **humorstar** » Thu Mar 12, 2009 7:20 pm

In Dreamweaver, I can copy & paste the Greek letters into an XML file. But if I try to load the XML with IrrXML reader, the Greek letters are not read properly and not displayed. I am using the similar IrrXML usage example in the MeshViewer example.

Is it possible to load the Greek letters and display them? I want to use them in the mathematics equations.

Thank you,

you probably need to forcefully save the xml document as UTF-8 or UTF-16 even. using a texteditor that can

You might want to check out mbstowcs(...) too so when you load up a UTF-8
file on a *char you can convert it to wchar_t which you can use directly with
Irrlicht font drawing system (ie. draw text on screen).

This is windows stuff, similar functions exists for other platforms.
