UTF-8 for Input field

I building a app chat, and I come from Vietnam. But Input field in Unity dont show Vietnamese text. How I can get text from Input field is utf-8 text.

sample Vietnamese text " Xin chào tất cả mọi người!". ( It mean "Hello everyone").

I'm not a native English speaker, so I'm sorry for every mistake.

 

The reason it doesn't show Vietnamnese characters is because they're not included in the font asset that you're using. You must make your own font asset that explicitly includes the Vietnamnese characters that you need in your game. Here's the documentation that explains how to do it: http://www.digitalnativestudios.com/textmeshpro/docs/font/

Since you're making a chat you should also check out this new feature: https://forum.unity.com/threads/ver...mic-sdf-for-unity-2018-3-now-available.622420
It generates missing characters automatically while the game is running. This is very useful for a chat so people can talk in any language they want even if you did not include the characters (Chinese, Korean...) in your font asset.

 

Thank for answer, In fact, I building a Chatbot, that get input in the Input field and compare with clause in xml file (utf-8) and show clause output.
In Textmesh pro I try 02 - Multi-line TextMesh Pro. I've edited

Code (CSharp):

1. Em oi, em có bu?n không? <#ff8000>D? ngã d?y</color>
2.  

but, I want it be:

Code (CSharp):

1. Em ơi, em có buồn không? <#ff8000>Dạ ngã đây</color>
2.  

you can get app write Vietnamese with link: http://unikey.vn/vietnam/

 

1.) Download a font that supports the character set you wish to use. For example, "Noto Sans" (free) includes Vietnamnese characters : https://www.google.com/get/noto/

2.) Open "Font Asset Creator" window in Unity and follow the steps from this video (but you need to choose a custom character set not ASCII):

3.) Assign your newly created font asset in your TextMeshPro component.

 

If you are using Unity 2018.3 or above, you should install version 1.4.0-preview.2a of TextMesh Pro using the Unity Package Manager (see the following post and video)

This new version of TextMesh Pro includes Dynamic SDF support where it won't be necessary to add the needed characters to the font asset (ahead of time) via the Font Asset Creator. Instead the needed characters / glyphs can be added dynamically to a newly created font asset in the Editor or at Runtime.

The Dynamic SDF system doesn't replace the need for the Font Asset Creator and using Static font assets but that's a discussion for another day / post which is also explained in the sticky post linked above.

You will still need to create a font asset from a font file that contains the Vietnamese character set.

Here is an image using this latest version of TextMesh Pro in Unity 2018.3 using Arial.



Does this render correctly?

I added the red arrow to bring attention to the use of diacritical marks which is not fully supported yet in TextMesh Pro. Until proper support for Diacritical marks is added to TMP, you can use / define Glyph Pair Adjustments in the Glyph Adjustment Table.

 

Hi @congty3Dart @congty3dartvn, have you been able to solve this problem? I am finding a solution for this as well. Please help!

 

This is a simple way to generate fonts in other languages in Unity

Or view the tutorial in Vietnamese instead:

 

Hi, i have a same problem here, using default Arial font but it not display correctly, Still not work when build to app and test on another devices.
Please help.

 

The issue still not fix, at the arrow point i only get character when paste it to TextMesh Input Field.

the "?" when typing "ộ". Can you suggest a solution for this?

 

You can use js Mudim library like this HTML site is using: Vietnamese Typing Online

 

If you want to enter directly without showing "?".
Please disable Unikey and enable Vietnamese Telex percussion in Windows settings.
I was looking for this way while playing the game Genshin Impact.

 

Hello i am getting white space issue when using mobile emoji in RTL input field

 

I still having this issue I just want to make TMP support all language this is possible?

 

If you're using Vietnamese IME like Unikey, try to enable the option "Always use clipboard for unicode". It's worked for me since I haven't encountered the bug that show '?' when I tried to type Vietnamese characters.

 

you should try unity 2022. I get the same problem and all i need is update version from 2021.1.1.19f to 2022.1.17f.1.
