Adding the UTF-8 support - CKA3KuH - 25.03.2015
Will be great if you add support for the UTF-8 encoding. I very often face with the incorrect encoding in the gamemode when my files have been saved in the UTF-8 encoding. For understanding the problem please see attached screenshot. Thanks in advance!

AFAIK sa-mp only supports ASCII encoding, i tried to use some kind of UTF-8 to do my gamemode in multilanguage and f*ked up all my accents from other languages.

This happens to me too with the character "•".

This would be insane amounts of work, and it would have to be hacked into GTA itself.

Then don't save your files in UTF coding, I have never faced this issue ever before. Pawno will never do you wrong, but notepad will do whatever you tell it to.

UTF-8 is a most popular encoding. Please see following graph.

Graph indicating that UTF-8 (light blue) exceeded other main encodings of text on the Web in December 2007, and that by 2010 it was nearing 50% (and up to 83% in March 2015[2]). Encodings were detected by examining the text, not from the encoding tag in the header,[3] thus does not include ASCII tagged as UTF-8. As ASCII is valid UTF-8 it could be added to the UTF-8 to get over 65% usage in 2010. |

What is the point? SA-MP supports every charset, as long as the user turns it on. Russian people have set their system language to Russian, therefore Cyrillic is displayed on their screen. What's the point of showing me, some random Dutch guy, Russian gibberish I can't understand.
Besides, GTA SA is an ANSI based game, it would mess stuff up if the mods were UTF-8

Maybe this helps?   There are also language packs (not Microsoft) you can install in Windows that will force programs to use Unicode. These will not work with GTA SA. |
