Re: Unicode characters in string table
One nice thing is this seems to be done for you in VS 2008 (RC file is
Unicode).

Hi,
I use VS2005.
I want to add a math symbol (increment symbol, unicode 0x2206) to a
stringtable string.
I've tried inserting it in the resource editor, with no luck, so I've
opened the .rc file in text mode and I've hand-edited the string to
look like this:
IDS_DELTA_WHATEVER L"\x2206Whatever"
This works fine... until I edit the string table in the resource
editor. Then, the string in the resource editor looks fine, but not
when I run the program. Instead of the desired symbol, I get a
question mark. And if I open the .rc file, the string table entry now
has this form:
IDS_DELTA_WHATEVER "?Whatever"
So, what am I missing?
Thanks
Mikel
Seems like saving the .rc as Unicode made it work properly.
Anyway, is there any way to enter the Unicode characters directly in
the resource editor?
