I have tested Asian language string(unicode) in Run Basic. The result is failure: "This character is not supported by this class of string".  Are there any text types that can handle Asian text? This is critical for me in developing Asian application - please help!  |

You would either have to change the content type of the entire document or add the character set to the objects, which are displaying text. See the HTML 4.01 Specification |

Thanks Stefan,
It's been few days only that I started to learn Run Basic. Even it is Basic, started from early 70's, every system has its specific requirements. So, can you provide me an example/method, how to change entire document in Run Basic? Or, are there any method that I can start a program with specific html?
Currently, I am using free version for my investigation. Do I need retail version to do this?

The following seems to work.
head "<META HTTP-EQUIV='Content-Type' CONTENT='text/html; charset=ISO-2022-JP'>"
html "水"
Some more links to resources about internationalization. |

I think we have different ideas about the problem.
First of all, definitely, your code works. Because it is a hex-decimal string.
But, we often use Asian text in the code as an initial value or constant.
Maybe I need to state my problem in code:
(This is not an issue in Liberty Basic, it accepts Asian string same as English text.)
(The two statements are same in terms of meaning - you may see the second statement
characters as square, since you may not have Asian font installed. in here it is Korean char)
input "Enter new name: ";n$
input "새로운 이름을 입력: ";n$
The second statement causes compiler error.
(Please try the second statement then you will see the error message)
Happy Christmas Stefan!!

I can't type in any Asian language, but the Korean string is displayed correctly in the post.
I get the compiler error too, but I did not test if it works after changing my regional settings.
I think this is one for Carl, so I will move this to the bug reports.
