Unicode symbol in Gui text

[kdaube]

I want to insert a unicode symbol (➔ U+2794 or → U+2192) into the text on a GUI. In my editor I can see the symbol:

Code: Select all

info := "something ➔ something else"
...
Gui, Add, Text,   x010 y385 w500 h035 , %info%

In the display (Windows 7 x64) I see


In the edit field above this text I can enter this special character. It is handled correctly (display, save to file etc.)
The system font is Segoe UI (which does not contain this character, but the second one, which is also not handled correcty).

What's wrong with my GUI command?

Thank You for Your ideas.
Klaus

Which of the AHK versions have you installed ? The Unicode one ?

Try saving the script as UTF-8 with a BOM.

Thanks, jeeswg

That did the trick!

For data files I always look on this property - but here I forgot.
It needs to go into my flesh to always set BOM.

Thank You again,
Klaus
