Umlaut in text from lua script is not printed

[JMessmer]

I am using the latest version of FGU
FGU: v4.0.0 ULTIMATE (2020-10-01)
I have some text in a lua script that should be printed in the chat window right after launching the session


launchmsg = {
[...]
[2] = { sender = "", font = "narratorfont", icon = "DZ-Rulesetlogo", text = "von Verokh für SmiteWorks' Fantasy Grounds II - Besonderen Dank an Ginstor und Quitzlinga für ihre Mitarbeit." },
[...]
};

In FGC this works fine (see screenshot Screenshot 2020-10-07 112442.png) whereas in FGU it does not (see screenshot Screenshot 2020-10-07 112501.png).

FGU strictly interprets the character set, FGC did not and allowed many characters that actually were not part of the spec to print. I forget the details (ISO-88xx? and something about Windows 128X characters about ACSII code 128 or something like that *G*

I'm guessing this falls into that category?

Thanks a lot, LordEntrails. That solved my issue nice and easily. I just switched the file format from ANSI to UTF-8 and it worked :)

Good, glad you figured it out. I wasn't the most coherent in my reply :)
