could not find the program

UNICODEP.BBC is supplied with BBC BASIC for Windows. It can be found in the EXAMPLES\GENERAL subfolder of the installation directory. If it is missing, download and install the latest version of BB4W (5.93a) and it will be replaced.

Remember that you must use UTF-8 text in BBC BASIC, not UTF-16. So instead of:

Code:

      print "Test ÐÐÐÐÐ*ÝÝÝÝÝ*ÞÞÞÞÞ*ððððð*ýýýýý*þþþþþ Test"

you should have:

Code:

      VDU 23,22,720;480;8,16,16,128+8 : REM Select UTF-8 mode
      
      *FONT Courier New,20
      
      PRINT "Test ÃÃÃÃÃ*ÃÃÃÃÃ*ÃžÃžÃžÃžÃž*Ã°Ã°Ã°Ã°Ã°*Ã½Ã½Ã½Ã½Ã½*Ã¾Ã¾Ã¾Ã¾Ã¾ Test"

The text will not look correct in the editor, but it will print OK when you run the program.

Here is a hint for seeing the correct text in the program:

Save the program as a BASIC Text File (*.BAS)
Run MS NOTEPAD
Open the .BAS file with the Encoding set to UTF-8

The program will then be shown with the correct Unicode text strings, and can be printed.
