Some unicode symbols not supported. - Pete - 03-09-2024 Code: (Select All)
What's funny is this routine will print that hamburger menu symbol ≡ I wasn't able to display to a screen a couple of years ago, but it misses on two of the outer one eighth blocks. When a symbol fails to display correctly, we get a hollow rectangle symbol in the display. So is this a QB64 glitch? Pete RE: Some unicode symbols not supported. - SMcNeill - 03-09-2024 Are you certain the font has those characters in it? Not all fonts have all characters available. RE: Some unicode symbols not supported. - Pete - 03-09-2024 Professor Steve nails it again! I was counting on some continuity, meaning if the font contained the upper 1/8 block and the right 1/8 block, it would certainly have the complimentary lower and left ones two, but no! So I did find this cool site that helps us check if particular characters are in a font: https://www.charactercodes.net/font-character-map/ We can get a copy/paste of a desired symbol from: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_Unicode_characters Now it's time do do some hunting. I wonder how that hamburger symbol tastes with just a dab of orange sauce? Pete - the word "just" stricken to complement my personal pronouns. |
