Police problem.

[honky]

Hello good morning,

If I put letters accentuated in the note block and I copy them paste in a textdor, everything is fine.

Il I charge this  block note file (open for input) and display in textedittor, everything is fine.

If I copy data with letters accentuated in an EXEL file, that I paste it in the note block, everything is fine.
If I copy this data in the note block and paste the note in a texteditor, everything is fine.
But if I charge (open for input) the note block file of this datas and display it in a texteditor, nothing is going well, the accentuation transform into bizarre stuff
"é" becomes->: "A©".
What is going on ?
Thank you for the light.

Chances are, problem is UNICODE

lb/jb reads bytes
one byte == one character

But that means only 256 possible characters at all
So world moved along
And in UNICODE, one character might be several bytes

Is accented character on your windows codepage?
If so you might try to take accented text in Notepad, save it as ANSI (File/save as/ lower string: Encoding: ANSI)
and got it in old way & with accents. And JB will read/display it.

I converted and encoded in ansi, put in Lower $

And always "é"-> "a@"

Yess !! Its's work well.(I have not saved)

Thank you Anatoly JB/LB saviour.

Well, I just copied that accented e
put it in notepad
save it as utf-8
got 5 bytes
EF BB BF C3 A9

save it as unicode
got 4 bytes
FEFF 00E9

save as ANSI
got single byte,
0x65
but it is chr$(101), ordinary "e", accent is lost for good.

Last conversion depends on my locale setting (my windows ANSI codepage).
