Welcome Teo.
You can visit my blog there is some codes handling unicode,utf-8...
vfp is originally non unicode soft, its designers dont see it as universal applications and talk
mainly with occidental people as ANSI... .(it was a strategic error).
I play with these by need to see unicode language (as mine) loaded on vfp surfaces.
-the STRCONV() is the main usefull vfp function to play with UNICODE,UTF-8..
-web (IE) ,Word,Excel are also unicode surfaces.
if you have Office installed there is some activeX can handle unicode easily.see the photo attached.
add to that the rich textbox shipped with vfp.
Unfortunatly i dont play with tables,sql...i am interesting only with POO things.Data is minimalistic for me.
