Locale and encoding: Load + display Chinese/Korean/Japanese characters in Omniscope
-
I'm on version b420. I am trying to read an xlsx file with english, pole, koren and chinese characters in it.
In previous version, I think we could select locale (still the case) but also encoding, like UTF-8.
Here the encoding option is not showing up.
How can I get visokio to read the asian characters correctly?
Thank you. -

"Native" excel files (XLS, XLSX) have never had an encoding option in Omniscope. This only appears for text files (CSV, TXT, TAB, TSV).
If you open an XLSX file with non-western characters, Omniscope will interpret these correctly, but may not display them correctly in the default font; instead, squares or question marks might appear. But rest assured this is a display-only issue; internally the correct characters are being modelled and understood by Omniscope.
To see the characters you must choose Settings > File font > Installed fonts > Arial Unicode MS. If you are often working with non-western characters, you might want to make this setting permanent using Settings > Application font.
See the attachment - an example XLSX file containing some of the phrases from Omniscope's language translations file. This opens and displays characters correctly in Omniscope, providing you have switched the font.Attachments
