Re: UTF-8 unicode use in \markup

[ming tsang]

Hi Valentin Petzel,

Thank you for your reply.  I found a 

UTF-8 encoding table and Unicode characters

https://www.utf8-chartable.de/unicode-utf8-table.pl?utf8=0x 

Now I can look up the U+00a7 and then use \markup { \char ##x00a7 ) to display it.

for \char I cannot use unicode  U+00a7. I was hoping \char could accept U+00a7.  Now I can use ##x00a7. 

Thank you for your info.

Shalom,

yMing.

Hello Ming,

I do not understand your exact problem. If you want to have € in markup you
can either directly put € in the markup, or use \char ##20ac.
