Why does it show a diamond symbol with question mark inside when i try to put Enye ( Ñ ) in a text file then upload it in my xd 234 ?

 

i need to show some special characters on the scrolling ticker.

    The default 'System' font probably does not include special characters.

    You will need to add your own TrueType or OpenType font that includes those characters.

    You can add the file to the project by clicking on Ticker Zone Properties, and it is at the bottom of that window.

    Open Sans has those characters. You can get for free from Google Fonts and many other places online to download.

    That should take care of the issue.

    save your text file with a UTF-8 coding instead of the standard ANSI coding.
    you can find this setting next to save buttoni n file/save as dial;og
