I have a table of French word which may contain accents.
For example : "étudiant"
This table was create with a previous version of Foxpro and I cannot see accented character properly with FoxPro 5.0. Instead I see a strange symbol or a black sqare.

I verified the ascii code of the "é" character and I get 130 for words already entered in the table and 233 for new words I input.

Can someone explain me the reason of this.
and
Do I have to convert all "old" accented characters to "new" characters?

Thanks.
