Using Unicode in LiveCode

Unicode Assignment

Create a stack that demonstrates the following:

1. How to type Unicode text into a field. (Remember, you just use the OS's keyboard input tools.)

2. How to save Unicode text to a file.

3. How to read Unicode text from a file.

4. How to move a chunk of Unicode text (line, word, character) to another field.

5. How to examine the Unicode value of a character (i.e., charToNum).

6. How to import UTF-8 text.

All of these things are demonstrated in the stacks unicodeInRev.rev and unicodeExamples.rev. Download your own copies from the InClass/24-25-Unicode folder, or just open LiveCode and enter go stack url "http://chum310.byu.edu/InClass/24-25-Unicode/unicodeExamples.rev" in the message box. Turn turn your stack (with your name on it!) in to the homework drop folder when you're done. Due by next class period.
