------
Typemanager and AmiPDF are the only applications that can show multibyte unicode.
Other applications cannot show multibyte unicode I think.

about your question on JKFF website:

"
In OS3.9, EditPad(OS3.9) can input kanji with UTF-8.

But NotePad(OS4.0) can't input.

UTF-8 have not only 0x00-07f, but also 0x80-0xff.
Kanji with UTF-8 have wide range in byte. It use

0x80-0x8f <== Many application are remove this byte. EditPad(OS3.9) keep it. NotePad(OS4.0) remove it.
0x90-0x9f <== 0x9b is CSI(Control Sequence Intoducer) in OS3.9. Is OS4.0 too?
0xa0-0xaf
0xb0-0xbf
0xe0-0xef

i really don't know.
i suggest you ask Tetisoft or Joerg, they are real developers. If you tell me how to check i will do it.
otherwise i just don't know how to verify this (CSI 0x90-0x9f....) if you want me to verify this please tell me how to do it.
thanks

@keisangi

I update JKFFInput.
Please try text type "Unicode in UTF-16BE".

EditPad(OS3.9) do not input 0x81 in OS4.0.
I think OS4.0 are remove 0x81 at input stream.

UTF-16BE have not 0x81, I think.

# OS3.9 do not remove 0x81.
# Who update OS4.0 program for remove 0x81? ;)

@olfa

i tested new jkff 003. it works !

please see:

http://keisangi.free.fr/amiga/jkff003test7.jpg (editpad OS3.9) result ok!


http://keisangi.free.fr/amiga/jkff003test8.jpg (notepad OS4) result ok !

well done ! ^O^/

@keisangi

Thanks for test and report.
Please open test.utf with NotePad and change font.
I think workbench preferences can change it too.
And JKFFInput display other font?

I will program JKFFInput with 2 weeks.
Please waitting for Step1(JKFFInput for OS3.9).

Quote:

Notepad cannot display unicode multibyte.
When i change font i cannot choose "unicode utf-16be".
Notepad know only 8bit plain text.

The only program that can display unicode utf-16be is typemanager.

Please look at this screenshot:

Do you see "charset" on the font requester?
charset type is this:

ISO-8859-1
ISO-8859-2
ISO-8859-3
ISO-8859-4
ISO-8859-5
ISO-8859-6

ISO-8859-8
ISO-8859-9

No unicode utf-16be i'm affraid..
Even if i choose "sazanami" font, it doesn't display japanese unicode (multibyte unicode)

i think we need a new charset. i'm not sure what to do.
i think Tetisoft understand all needed step.
