I find I can't display Chinese simply by passing plain char arrays as arguments.
I've tried some APIs in the string8_impl.h and the utf8.cpp file, but didn't work. How can I display non-ascii characters in the UI ? (such as menus, console, popup_message and so on) Thanks. |

Most APIs in foobar2000 accept and return strings encoded in UTF-8. When you want to display an string constant with non-ASCII characters, you can define it as L"Hello World!" and use the string_utf8_from_wide utility class from the SDK.
