In recent versions (since v11.5) of Lingo's only implementation "Director" UTF-8 is the default encoding for both scripts and strings. Therefor Unicode string literals can be specified directly in the code, and also variable names support Unicode. To represent/deal with string data in other encodings, you have to use the ByteArray data type. Various ByteArray as well as FileIO methods support an optional 'charSet' parameter that allows to transcode data to/from UTF-8 on the fly. The supported 'charSet' strings can be displayed like this: |
