Hi,

This program correctly prints: Hello, Здравей, Γεια σου, Cześć, Привет

How come? I declare a byte string.

Thank you.

Quote:

format ELF executable segment readable writeable executable entry $ adr r1, s mov r2, s.len mov r0, 1 mov r7, 4 ; sys_write swi 0 mov r7, 1 swi 0 align 4 s db 'Hello, Здравей, Γεια σου, Cześć, Привет',10,0 .len = $-s

UTF8 is a string of bytes. That is exactly what you should be declaring.

Oh i thought it had to be a du string.

DU is for Unicode.

We can use UTF8 in comments, label names, macro names, EQUs and strings.

Code:

This will compile and run fine. But Windows is not set for UTF8 mode and will mangle the text rendering thinking it is ANSI/ASCII in some code page mapping.

You can use code page 65001 in the Windows console (CHCP 65001) with the Consolas font and UTF8 works well there. But at least one utility fails in this code page: "find", it just seems to hang.

Edit: I notice that some of the characters are not properly displayed by the browser/board. Use "quote" to get the original source text.

I see, thanks for the clarification revolution.
