MultiByte International Characters

Most languages use a single byte of eight bits to represent a character, e.g. English,

French, German, Hebrew, Russian, Thai, etc.

Multibyte character fonts require more than the usual eight bits to specify a

character. This occurs when a language has more than 256 characters (2

) in a font.

For example, Chinese fonts contain several thousand characters. Other multibyte

languages include Japanese and Korean.

There are two separate applications with multibyte characters – static text on buttons

and indirect text on buttons. No Isys touchpanel firmware changes are required in

either case.

Indirect text on a button is entered in VisionTools Pro-e and the actual string to be

displayed is entered in SIMPL Windows. As of this publication date only completely

single byte or completely multibyte strings may be entered or they will not be

compiled correctly in SIMPL Windows. In other words, you cannot enter Chinese

characters interspersed with numbers. You can enter Chinese characters or numbers

in separate strings or you can pad each number with “\x00” to make it multibyte and

then combine it with Chinese characters in the same string.

Of course you can always use the workaround of showing a graphic that displays the

string but it is not dynamic. To compile and use multibyte characters it is essential

that the operating system understand the language. Windows XP and Vista are

available in many international languages and add-on software is available for other

versions of Windows.
