Special Characters - Character set for HL - CS
 

I know there are several ways to use this characters, this is just one

Never wanted to use accents or other stuff in your plugins? Here is a way of doing that.

CS uses UTF-8 codification, however, when we write a plugin chances are that use either ANSI or ASCII depending on the editor.

Besides all this technical stuff, its actually pretty simple to use special characters. Just instead of writing for example

What, actually won't work

We write

And in CS it will apear as

Anyway, this is the list.

Code:

---

á = á
é = é
í = Ã*
ó = ó
ú = ú

Á = Ã�
É = É
Í = Ã�
Ó = Ó
Ú = Ú

ñ = ñ
ç = ç

Ñ = Ñ
Ç = Ç

© = ©
® = ®
™ = â„¢
Ø = Ø
ª = ª

ä = ä
ë = ë
ï = ï
ö = ö
ü = ü

Ä = Ä
Ë = Ë
Ï = Ã�
Ö = Ö
Ü = Ãœ

---

If you want any other character, please tell me.

And, allthough it may look the same the transformation, just copypaste it, will work.

How can we use a ; in cs?

Re: Special Characters - Character set for HL - CS
 

Just ; works.

UTF-8 is compatible with ASCII. Any of this chars http://www.asciitable.com/ (ASCII, NOT ASCII EXTENDED) will work without any change.

Nice trick, good job.

If you are going to do that, it would be more appropriate to do a language file, keeping the normal way but saving the file as UTF-8 without BOM. It's easy to do, and easy to add/remove/update sentences.

just encode your .sma file into UTF-8 , all symbols would appear as they should

How can I do that?

notepad -> save as, below name is how it saved ANSI or UTF-8, but you need "UTF-8 without BOM" which isn't there, so i suggest downloading notepad+ then encode menu
