Non-ASCII characters and issues effects

Postby Minoa » Wed Feb 01, 2023 1:41 am

Unfortunately, I have observed that choosing Option 5 of Issue #1370 is causing the leader's name in West Calypso (archived snapshot), which has a non-ASCII character, to break in the national description and national happenings: Nicolás Maduro is again showing as Nicolás Maduro again.

This is strange because Option 2 in #846 does not cause the leader's name in Minoa, which also has a non-ASCII character, to break.

Can someone please check what is causing the error?

It's caused by the fact that we still don't have a common and modern character set across the game. It's apparently a tedious task and one that hasn't yet been addressed. It's less an error and more just coding choices that are up to two decades old.
