| − | Because | + | Because Dwarf Fortress does not properly translate normal Unicode input into [[character table|CP437]], the game's native character set, attempting to enter many of the letters used in the various languages, like á or ô will produce a totally different symbol instead — the symbol whose CP437 code (the bold-italic numbers in the [[character table]]) corresponds to the Unicode number of the letter entered (the unstyled numbers just above the CP437 codes, but note that these are in hexadecimal). Perusing the table will show that this in fact ''only'' lines up correctly for the NUL character (useless) and the "normal" letter/punctuation range from the space (0x20) to ~ (0x7E). Anything else will produce either the corresponding character, if there is one, or unknown results possibly dependent on the host operating system. To insert a particular character outside the "matching" range, such as Ñ, you must find its CP437 code – 0xA5 for Ñ – and insert the character with that code in Unicode - in this case, ¥. DF will conveniently misinterpret your input as the intended character. Note, however, that many character codes in the CP437 set do not correspond to printing characters in unicode – 0x7F-0x9F, for example, which covers many of the accented vowels; these won't appear on keyboards, but any kind of direct unicode input will probably still work. |
