SOLVED: Strings, ANSI or UTF

[Zittergie]

I want to read a File assigned as Textfile and read the following:

Artists;Elõadók

I want to copy 'Elõadók' into a stringlist or array of strings and assign it to a Label.Caption.
The problem is that it works for words without special chars, but chars like õ and ó are shown as a square []

I think it has something to do with UTF and ANSI encoding, but I can't figure out how to solve this.

Without details of your OS and the code that yields results that are unexpected we can't do much to help you.

Try to simply save the file as UTF8 text.

@ typo:  Thanks, that was a quick fix

Now taking some time to learn the difference between ANSI & UTF8 ...
