World: r4wp

I've just tested it on Windows console (using Consolas font), it 
works fine.

The above string doesn't work as-is in Red though, you should pass 
the codepoints escaped instead of the UTF-8 encoding.

I noticed :-)

I haven't implemented full char! support yet, so I can't write a 
Red script to print me the right codepoint values...(char! will be 
implemented later today though).

Hello

 in many languages http://www.omniglot.com/language/phrases/hello.htm

Good source, even Klingon is there! :-)

Hello in Klingon:

nuqneH (What do you want?)
- used when confronted by another

Code points are 00FD & 011B

I really need to learn more, my Klingon is currently limited to " 
Qapla' " only (means Goodbye).

Thanks Peter. It works for me with "Dobr^(FD) den sv^(011B)t"

Above works ... but when I write it directly in Notepad (and the 
file claims it is UTF-8), it does not work ... strange then ...

Not sure if Notepad is the best for UTF-8 work...

Pekr: it might be a BOM issue with Red loader, I don't remember testing 
it...

Pekr: try to set the "encoding" field to UTF-8 in the saving panel 
(Save as...).

Here, I have no issue using Notepad to write Red Unicode scripts.

it is set to UTF-8 already ....

You can still download Notepad++ (or any other text editor with decent 
Unicode support). I have to drop my good old TextPad as it doesn't 
have good Unicode support.

I will do some more testing later ...

There are definitely some bugs somewhere ...

where can I find codepage for our chars, so that I can give you escaped 
value to try? some chars of czech extended alphabet are OK, some 
are not ...

above mentioned C4 9B is cuasing following output at the end of the 
phrase - strange ....

I used no punctuation char, just "e", then changed it to "e" (with 
hook above it), and it added that strange chars to the end of the 
string ...

Pekr: you should look at our more recent posts, the first string 
I posted had the wrong codes. The right string is:

Dobr^(FD) den sv^(011B)t

You can find the codepoints you need here: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_Unicode_characters

Doc, a minor nitpicking: it is a vocative and thus the correct spelling 
should be

Dobr^(FD) den sv^(011B)te

OK, but why do I need those codes in the first place?

In R3, if script is in the UTF-8 format, I can imo directly type 
it in Notepad ...

... but - it is a long time I tried it, so not sure ...

Pekr: I'm giving you the codes because it seems something is going 
wrong with your editor. In my Notepad or any other decent text editor 
here, I can type (or copy/paste them from the web) without any issue.

Ladislav: nitpicking accepted in such case. :-)

Doc - I can type without any issue, it is just that it does not display 
correctly in my console :-)

So, give me an email, I will send the exact script to you for you 
to try ....

[nr-:-red-lang-:-org]

You should have zipped the hello.red script to preserve its original 
encoding.

done

I've reproduced your issue

cool :-) So what's the issue about?

Don't know, looking into it...the ! character seems correctly encoded.

Might be a corruption bug.

...or rather a null character termination bug.

Pekr: I've fixed several bugs thanks to your HelloWorld, thank you. 
:-) Let me know if it's fine with the new commit.

partially fixed, but my suspicion is, there might be other related 
problems. Will explain - I replaced "Dobry den" (good day) with "Vitej" 
(Welcome), with the comma above "i" char. Or try with just ordinary 
"i". Simply put - insert following line after the Czech HelloWorld:

print "Vitej svete" 

here it prints onle "Vitej sv"

It works for me on OSX and Windows 7

uh, in above line, in the word "svete", the first "e" has hook above 
it, like in the original HelloWorld you used for czech ...

By "hook" he means the "caron" diacritic, also known as "hacek", 
"wedge", "inverted circumflex" or "inverted hat".

sent new file to Doc. Doc - btw - the last sentence (which prints 
correctly), means something like "Way too much yellow horse groaned 
devilish odes" :-) That sentece is known in our language to test 
all possible special chars in Czech language and still have some 
meaning ...

Ladislav - thanks for corrections ...

Strange observation - if I add another space between two words of 
"Vitej svete", it prints correctly in the console ...

Curious, if you are able to reproduce it. And also - third char in 
Greek HelloWorld is still not resolved ...

That sentece is known in our language to test all possible special 
chars in Czech language
 - actually, it does not contain e.g. the acute "i", does it?
