[Xerte] Re: Special characters in XOT

[Simon Barne]

Thank you both for your help. Some characters appear OK after pasting - e.g. ŋæəθð - but most - e.g. ʌʊɪʃʒʤʧɒʤʧ - appear only as little empty squares.

Paul's line works fine in desktop Xerte but not in Toolkits, where it appears as code, with the curly brackets showing, etc.

Any more ideas?

None of these methods seem to work, I'm afraid. It is Toolkits I am using.
Is that the reason?

It's got to be in an expression, I think:

{'Here is some plain text with this \u2192 Unicode in it.'}
