Unicode displayed as question marks Topic is solved

[Micromegas]

On a new (actually, refurbished) computer running Win 10 Professional, I have several fundamental problems.

#2: Unicode displayed as question marks. Now f and g in the following, which got displayed nicely on my old box, just give me question marks:

Code: Select all

#Hotstring * ?
::f::ф
g::Send г
d::Send {U+0434}
Esc::ExitApp

The d key still gives the correct result, though, which indicates AutoHotkey.exe may have a problem reading the file. The file was encoded in UTF-8-BOM, but changing the file format (with Notepad) either gives the same or mojibake.

It works for me , does it display the correct character in a message box ?

Code: Select all

msgbox г  ф

#Hotstring * ?
::f::ф
g::Send г
d::Send {U+0434}
Esc::ExitApp

Do you have a 'UTF-8 with BOM' option? I would try that.

Thanks for your answers. I found the problem: AHK was installed as the ANSI version. (See https://www.autohotkey.com/docs/Program.htm#install) Running the file with the Unicode version of AHK fixes the issue.
