Replacing with Accent Characters Fails

[mneimeyer]

I have this line in my generic shortcuts script:

Code: Select all

::Pokemon::Pokémon

But what comes out the other side (at least on Win11) is:

Code: Select all

Pok�n

Any suggestions on what I should be checking for? This used to work but I don't remember if it started failing on Win10 or only on Win11.

Thanks!

P.S. I am running AHK 1.1.34.02 and installed the Unicode 64-Bit version.

Save your script in UTF-8 with BOM encoding.
See https://www.autohotkey.com/docs/FAQ.htm#nonascii

That didn't help. I've quit the running instance, changed the file to UTF-8 with BOM, relaunched, reloaded it, checked that the encoding change took, etc and I'm still getting Pok�n when I try using it.

Anything else to check?

Thanks though!

Run this script to see if you are using the Unicode or ANSI version of AutoHotkey:

Code: Select all

MsgBox, % A_IsUnicode ? "Unicode" : "ANSI"

If you are using ANSI, then run the installer again and switch to Unicode. Or if you prefer, I could explain how you can manually copy and rename a file in your AHK installation directory to achieve the same thing.
