My app reads THuntspell .dic files into a stringlist. I've tried many different approaches but I have been unable to handle accented characters correctly. For example, the typical stringlist loadfromfile doesn't seem to be able to handle "abbé". The é is a problem. For example
s := utf8toAnsi(SL); doesn't work, nor does
SL.Text := SysToUtf8(SL.Text);
How can a read these typical huntspell dic files?
