How can I fix this? I need this to work. I don't want to use Ascii art. I just want this symbol to work.

You don't mention your OS, but it could be that the default font on your terminal/console is not able to display the same characters/symbols that your screen font does, or that the console does not correctly take account of the encoding used for the string you display (which if it is a screenshot of Lazarus would be utf8).
First step to try would be to change the font used by the console.

How would I change the font of the console? Also when I execute this will it stay the same? As I am going to show this to my teacher and send her the file. How do I change the console font?

[nobodyknowsme]

I am using Windows 7. Also I don't think it is the font. Do I not need to convert it to something it can read?

I have a deja vu

[nobodyknowsme]

What a deja vu? What? Do you know how to fix it?

I suppose you have to find a ASCII codepage, that supports these hearts.
And then maybe you should do something like

Code: [Select]

uses ....LConvEncoding'...
.....writeln(UTF8toCPxxx(yourtext)); 
And this should be a Windows only solution, IMHO Linux goes fine with unicode in console.

[nobodyknowsme]

writeln(UTF8toCPxxx(yourtext));

Whats the CP and xxx mean? Could you please give me an example of something? Just any character. Or a webpage to the Ascii characters

[nobodyknowsme]

writeln(UTF8toCPxxx(yourtext));

It doesn't work. What does the CPxxx mean? Its saying its not a identifier

[nobodyknowsme]

writeln(UTF8toCPxxx(yourtext));

It doesn't work either. That uses doesn't allow me,

[nobodyknowsme]

writeln(UTF8toCPxxx(yourtext));

Sorry to pester. But it doesn't recognize the uses at all. Any ideas?

4 replies to self in 5 minutes.... surely the answer will follow soon now 

[nobodyknowsme]

I know, I really need this to be figured out soon!

[CM630]

Here is info what a codepage is.
This is a 8 bit character table, used before unicode.
Windows console does not understand unicode. So you have to select a codepage, containing the character you want.
And by the way, I seriously doubt that showing Cyrillic, Latin and Greek characters at the same time in the Windows console is possible.

uses ....LConvEncoding'...
.....writeln(UTF8toCPxxx(yourtext));

The LConvEncoding uses doesn't work. Could you possibly make a simple program with the love heart symbol in? I would even pay you to do it if you can get the love heart in a console application. Can be any love heart symbol in a console application?
