Unicode Literals in Monkey C? (And garmin_triangle.png simulator stuck)

randompast over 3 years ago

The following post is relevant and gave good guidance, but I decided against necromancy.

I'm using the newest version of the SDK (4.1.0 B1)

Following that example and using the built in examples as a guide for where things were, I edited my

#in resources/resources.xml

</resources>

#in resources/layouts/layout.xml

#in myWatchView.mc file

using Toybox.WatchUi as Ui;

...

#in onUpdate

View.findDrawableById("chars").setText( Ui.loadResource(Rez.Strings.specials) );

It displays the accented e fine but not the Kanji mountain symbol.

DEBUGGING Blue Triangle

Ooops! I got the blue triangle (garmin_triangle.png) again.

Perhaps it was caused by switching to 4.0.7 (while connectiq was open) or putting the literal unicode in there.

I retried my prior tips and it didn't get me out of blue triangle mode.

I'm getting this error in the connectiq simulator under view memory which I think is unrelated

../src/gtk/window.cpp(3792): assert ""m_widget"" failed in DoSetSize(): invalid window

...Yes, it's unrelated, somehow swapping sdks again (without deleting any of those file) back to 4.1.0B1 worked.

And, none of this mattered since the older bug was fixed and now "é" doesn't require this resources.xml hack.

But I want ⼭ to be displayed.

One of the projects I've seen solves this by cropping images: https://github.com/Peterdedecker/kudos/tree/master/resources/fonts

Is there another way to do this?

I also tried "\u2F2D" to no avail ( https://unicode-search.net/unicode-namesearch.pl query=mountain )

In Bitmap font generator, there are a lot of fonts to choose from (Options, Font Settings, Font). You can use the arrow keys to navigate to adjacent panes of the font. If you pick Noto Sans CJK JP you'll get a lot of relevant symbols... Now, finding a particular symbol of interest, if you know the unicode symbol (ex: 2F2D) look for the corresponding pane (002F00). 2F is the pane, 2D is third row and 14th column. As you mouse over you can see the 2DXX position in the bottom right.

Used this table and found that the characters up to \u011F were available unicode-table.com/.../
