Unicode View Support For OutputDebugStringW

[janwilmans]

I am not sure what the question is here? if you are looking for a way to send special characters, I suggest you try to use UTF-8 encoding through the OutputDebugStringA function? I think this how chinese users of debugview are doing it... Later>> no sorry I was confusing two projects, debugviewpp has no UTF-8 support.

Example:

Change setting to Japanese. or Korean language.
Then call OutputDebugStringW("中文") with Chinese unicode charset.

In DebugView++ show: "????";

Please try changing the setting above, you can find it by searching for "Region" in the start menu, and send messages using OutputDebugStringW() and encoded as UCS-2 (windows own variant of UTF-16)

You mean when the language in the OutputDebugStringW is different from the non-unicode programs setting in the Region dialog?

Not necessarily the "language", but a lot of characters does not exist in the (limited) code page.
Like e.g. Greek characters (in math) and emojis. Even if you try to avoid using "foreign" / "complex" characters in debug messages you often print project data, which can contain any Unicode glyph.

Are you sure DebugViewPP does not support it? It should support it if it supports other MBCS.

well, debugview does not support UTF-8 natively, in code I assume everything is in UCS-2 but this windows feature might help, I am not sure. I will do some more testing. Let me know if you already found a solution?
