B4R Question Can support UTF8 function?

[santook]

Does Arduino support UTF8 character encoding and decoding operations on b4r ide?

 

[Erel]

Strings in B4R (and in Arduino) are mostly identical to arrays of bytes. There are no encoders or decoders.
This is different than other B4X tools where strings represent a set of characters.

You can use UTF8 strings in the IDE. For example:

Private Sub AppStart
   Serial1.Initialize(115200)
   Log("AppStart")
   Dim s As String = "שלום"
   Log(s)
   Log(s.Length)
End Sub

Output:

AppStart
שלום
8

The length is 8 because the 4 characters were converted to 8 bytes during compilation.
