Dear list,
I have the following sample:
\starttext \startluacode io.write(' Name? ') document.name = io.read() or '' \stopluacode \cldcontext{document.name} is the name. \stoptext [...] I’m using current latest (ConTeXt MkIV 2020.11.08 12:42).
I’m not sure what I am missing or whether I have hit a bug.
This has been discussed before I think. It has to do with how you configured your system (what encoding) and how consisteltly you take that into account. If you have some mixed setup, just don't use non-ascii.
Many thanks for your reply, Hans. I use chcp 65001. I have no problem displaying UTF-8 messages and passing arguments with UTF-8 characters.
Anyway, in LMTX all file, commandline and systemn operations are utf 8 and on windows get translated into wide system calls so there it should work ok if you use utf8.
Well, according to https://ss64.com/nt/cmd.html the console uses UTF-16LE. Or UCS-2 (as described in https://devblogs.microsoft.com/commandline/windows-command-line-unicode-and-...). Since console input is UTF-16LE, I guess I may need something in Lua similar to 'regimes.translate(str, "utf16le")'. How can I convert a string from UTF-16LE (into UTF-8)?
