    UTF-8 only works as expected if your text editor saves the file with a byte order mark (BOM) at the start, and Unitron doesn't. Nor do most text editors, for that matter. However, if you use UTF-16 / UCS-2, Unity will correctly interpret any Unicode character in your source files.

    Ok, restarting Unitron got it to work but using UTF-8. If I use UTF-16 when it opens my scripts they all look like japanese...

    The open source editor LibreOffice Writer gives you the option to save UTF-8 with BOM. Just thought I'd put that out there.
