Unicode Support

[myogaman]

Hello! I'm trying to do 2 things.

#1 I can't order my character sheet fields without it defaulting to alphabetical
-- I know I can do certain things to help this out (change the first character)

#2 I was thinking I could use Unicode (specificallyl emojis) to help out on this but it doesnt seem to be supported. This is also a bit of an issue as we are playing a modern game set in an international campaign. So without taking a picture of the text, I can't display it in chat.

Will their be unicode support? And will there be a method to manually move character sheet fields?

Thank you!

There is already UTF-8 support mostly built-in to the system. However, we don't have any plans to support emojis right now.

What characters are you trying to type? Or copy and paste? Can you provide an example?

Things like Korean (한글 this is the only one I have installed right now), Chinese characters, and Japanese as well. I am mostly just pasting but I tried typing Korean and it didn't work either.

I can't type marked accents directly on FGU but I can paste them with no problems... You can see two lines in the attached screenshot. First one is the result I get typing directly. Second is the result I get if I paste the words from the clipboard.

FGU: Latest version

OS: MacOS 10.15.5
Country code: ES
Keyboard: com.apple.keylayout.Spanish-ISO
Language code: es
Region settings: es_ES

@myogaman,
I'll have to check with our Carl who built our font system whether Asian characters are supported; and whether the fonts we have support them. It may be either or both.

@g0ntzal,
There's a separate issue where the input string of typed characters provided by Unity does not support certain characters correctly that we are tracking; some of the European character typing issues are most likely related to that.

CJK characters are UTF-32 and FGU does not support UTF-32 characters.

This is bad news for creating content as GM

CJK characters are UTF-32 and FGU does not support UTF-32 characters.

John asked me a follow-up about this, so I will clarify. My previous answer was overly simplistic. Our font engine can render any UTF-16 character present in a font. Our default fonts do not include CJK characters. Currently, our text input system only supports Extended ASCII for typing characters. Pasting via the clipboard does not have this limitation.

I'm trying to add the playing card suit symbols (♠♥♦♣) to Fantasy Ground via paste, and it is not working.

Is there something special I need to do? These are UTF-16 codes as far as I'm aware: U+2660, U+2665, U+2666, U+2663
