Thank you for all of your input!! I haven't done so much research and studying since I left college!
What are your 'extended' characters? What exactly are you trying to do?
I am trying to display a complete list of the ASCII 255 characters.
I have no idea what the codepage is. How do figure it out?
Read this: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Windows_code_page.
Now that I know what a codepage is, how do I
1- determine the codepage that my version of Windows is using?
2- assign a specific codepage for a particular project?
And, do all (American) English Windows versions use 1252?
Hi. If your displaying this on a form etc; does the font you are using have these characters defined?
I am using the standard Lazarus configuration. I reviewed all of the configuration options and did not see where the font is set. Where do I find the font setting?
A synopsis (for future reference):
UTF8Encode does not display all of characters. 128-on are boxes. The 'normal' 0,1, 9, 10, 13, and 28-31 are not displayed.
UnicodeToUTF8 A large chunk (128-160) is missing, as well as the 'normal' 0,1, 9, 10, 13, and 28-31.
WinCPToUTF8 and
CP1252ToUTF8, in addition to the 'normal' non-displayed characters, do not display 129, 141, 143-144, and 160.
Thank you all for your assistance!!!
