hi

how can I encode for curly quotes in a text string ’ ‘

- which I cant even enter into the Processing editor

can they be entered as entities or such like as with a html document?

?

I don't know for the PDE, as I am not even sure how you type them (beside Windows' method of Alt+0<numpad numbers>).

But a way to do that is to open the .pde file in a good text editor, in UTF-8 mode (important!). Type these characters, save the file, you have them in your code.
Mmm, another way is to use their Unicode escape: '\u2018' and '\u2019'.
If you use them in text() call, ensure they are in the generated font (if you use loadFont()).

hi

thanks for that

I'm getting the text from a controlP5 text field & yes it wont even let me type the characters...

but maybe a text importer would be a good idea

- I'm doing this to then render & manipulate in a bitmap typeface

anyway thank again I think I have a way forward
