| Hi! If I specify <?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
In standalone scripts I normally add or import sys
reload(sys)
sys.setdefaultencoding("utf-8")
to force utf-8 in the program so I wouldn't have to add 'u' before each string declaration. How to do the same in a plugin? | | Top |

| Plugins are composed of two layers: The XML wrapper and the embedded script language code.
The XML markup is just a mechanism for relaying your code to the script interpreter. I think you should do the same thing you would do in any normal standalone scripts. |

| It's been a while since I wrote that, but I don't think the encoding argument has any effect on the way the plugin is processed.
Whether or not the script treats strings as UTF-8 would be for the script to decide (internally Lua doesn't really recognize UTF-8 as far as I know).
If you chose to use UTF-8 inside strings, and then chose the UTF-8 option where relevant (eg. in WindowText) then the text should be displayed correctly.
